Just because someone wonders why something is a certain way it doesn’t mean they are attacking your decision or any ones for that matter.

QUOTE: Army Guy;262927 ok, BUC, you peeked my interest, why can't everyone who wants one, buy a CYV?

If you look at re-sales sold and compare days on the market of, Colony Patio homes and Keys Marathon homes in the same village the Marathon with the walls sold in much less time. I assume this means that on the average at least with those looking at more compact units people like walls.

If you compare a new Colony Patio and a Keys Marathon in Pennecamp with similar size lots the Marathon is $20,300 more. That is a lot of money for fencing. The assumption is that the market will bear the increase ie people will pay more for a fenced lot


On an aside I personally don’t get the white picket fences in front of the Colony Patio homes they are just across the front and don’t enclose anything. I guess they look cute but seem a little strange to me. ( I am not criticizing don’t jump down my throat )
