We originally bid for a resale but lost out on a bid but then we found a spec designer house and we love it. We are now happy we didn't win the first bid. I think one recommendation I can give is to look for built out area and check out the last few homes being built on spec. When we bought our place it was one of the three last lots that were being built. Builders want to move onto new section so they usually do a little add ons to make the house more salable. One concern I had south of 466 is that no gas will be available but it worked out well with electricity. We also enjoy walkin shower and golf cart garage which are rarer on older homes north of 466. The best part was having couple of feet extra in every room which definitely gives an airy feel. To each his own.
