Default Home build

Our Wisteria took 63 days from signing the contract till closing. We did drive down twice to see the progress. We both thought it was built like clock work. No wasted steps. We also both enjoyed the whole process. When we picked the lot it was a old watermelon field on a pond with no houses or trees as far as you could see to the east. I did have one neighbor on the west side of our house that was the last house built on the pond in 2006 I beleive. We were fortunate as that neighbor sent us pictures almost daily. Just one of the many reasons my neighbors is great. We picked our lot out in Febuary of 2009. We was a little hesitant at first looking at a field of sand trying to picture the veiw, but a freind that I work with mother lives in Liberty Park, We was invited over to meet her and have some wine and cheese. We had a good visit and talked to her about our concerns before we signed the contract. She basically stated you do not need worry about there not being any trees or houses, she said first you will see the houses built and the next year or two you will start seeing tree tops growing above the roof lines. She was absolutly correct. By the summer of 2010 it was nothing but new beautiful houses and landscaping as far as you could see to the east. LOL
By the way the villages called us two weeks earlier than the scheduled closing date and asked if wanted to close earlier. We was not expecting or prepaired to move the closing date so declined the schedule change. No CD of the build was given away at that time that I know of.
