But, I can say that the newer areas in the South definetly have a huge difference in the "look and feel" than homes north of and including Fenney.

Also, you have to remember as time goes on, costs increase and the developer can't provide as much as they used to for a given price so it's left to the homeowners to add the upgrades that use to come with new homes at their cost.

Finally, I "hear", many purchasing new homes "in the south" are flipping them after a year anyway so to them it doesn't matter. Or they are corporate purchases being used for rentals, etc... I also "hear" many of these homes are just sitting and not being sold as fast as in prior years. Many have done no upgrades and are trying to sell a year later at a profit. Not as easy as it used to be.

Just the way it is now.
Did you "hear" those things on TOTV? Because I certainly disagree with them.
