When we bought a few months agao it was explained to me this way. A standard lot is figured into the cost of the home. A standard lot is 60 x 90. If you get something else, ie, a view lot. a cul de sac, a corner, etc. there is a premium added. There is also a premium for a larger lot. We got a lot that is 103 x 60 interior lot and the premium was $8000.00. They went up from there. The highest premium I am aware of is $36000, but who knows.
We were also told that there are few lots that are large enough to handle a pool, so they would all be premium lots. If it is a larger lot with another reason for a premium, location, view, etc. it will be pricey. We opted for a larger lot to allow for an extended lanai. I wish now we had extended the garage and the front bedroom also. All this being said, own new home is marvelous!!! We just have to get rid of some more stuff so we can get the cars in the garage.
If that is the only problem we have...life is good. Sally
