Also, people would take a lot longer to make decisions on every little piece of the process so it is expeditious to let everyone get to the check out and take out from the basket rather than stop on the aisle and compare each product.
I agree it's a marketing game, but I don't want to play it.

Ok got some costs, (this is on Cottage) a simple bump to the side 1.5 to 2 car I think it's a 4' extension < $3K, not bad. But it is dependent on the lot width & setbacks therefore, may require a wider lot with a premium.

A bump to the front including the front entrance is about $6K, but no lot size issues.

He did see anything on the bird cage add on but his guess was $1500.

So now knowing that we just need new areas to open up and pick out a lot.

Currently
197 in Sanibel is sold out,
180 in Charlotte has about 30 lots from $9,000 to $89,000 premiums
