We bought our home after seeing the models a couple of times and driving through the neighborhoods a few times. We told our agent what we preferred in terms of model, lot, and interior features. We were sent pictures of the house over the internet and had to make a decision in a couple of hours. Fortunately, our agent did an outstanding job in meeting the aspects of our list. The only thing we don't have is a golf cart garage, but we have an expanded garage and can get two cars and a golf cart in easily. We are located near enough to a square that we can enjoy it and not so close that we have more traffic. We have the privacy we wanted and wonderful neighbors (don't know how the agent did that, though). No plans to ever move.
So, for us, it was developing a list of preferred features and having an agent who searched diligently for about four months for a house that incorporate most of them.
