I know how you feel and it can be very frustrating. We bought our property in TV in July 2011, knowing we would have a year to start the build. In August of that same year we put our house on the market. Like many people, not only in our area but across the country, it didn't sell right away. In February 2012 we were told by our TV representative who found our property that if we did our design meeting that month we could get a 4% discount. My husband did the math and we decided to "bite the bullet" and start the build a few months early. We closed on our TV home in April and still hadn't sold our house. Fortuneately we are both still working so the two mortgages weren't too bad but I was still very nervous. We finally sold our house in June of this year and are living in an apartment until our retirement next July. Like many of the previous posters, IMHO, you should do what you feel is economically right for you.
