A friend of ours got a spec home last fall on Odessa Circle in Tamarind Grove on a premium lot, he had a villa wall behind his house. It had stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, 12" ceramic tile in kitchen, DR and FR and several other upgrades and he got it for $250,000. It had been discounted about $15,000 and he didn't have to wait, it was already finished and was on the market.
I think you are absolutely right. You get the most bang for your buck on a spec home or a resale. They make their money on new construction.
