We bought a spec home in May and we could not be happier. We considered building and looked at lots. We found it hard to envision what our neighborhood would look like when it was built out. When we saw our new home, we both knew it was "the one"--it hit all our hot buttons. We have a corner lot, extra large garage, huge stretched lanai that is offset from our neighbors, walk-in shower, tile in all rooms except bedrooms, and an open kitchen. And to top it all off, we have great neighbors!
I think it would be fun to build a home, but I am not sure that I could have made design choices that are any better than what we have. And I loved the immediate gratification of picking my home and moving in a week later!
