Normally after a contract is signed on a completed home that's for sale such as a patio villa, courtyard villa or spec cottage or designer home they require that you close within 30 days. I bought my CYV over the telephone and made two deposits, one with credit card and one with wire transfer. I was then told I had to close within 30 days.

In my case they changed the rules because that suited them. My 30th day was Thursday June 30th and I was here with cash in hand and had to pay out of pocket for five days at the Holiday Inn. They said due to the holiday weekend they couldn't fit all the closings in beforehand on Thursday and Friday. With Monday as a holiday my closing was pushed to Tuesday July 5th.
