Too all people thinking of buying and building. There is NO rush. Plenty of opportunity to wait and get what you want. There will be thousands and thousands of homes built before they are done building....(And THAT is my guess) Your poor sales rep is NOT a mind reader and you can't have every home on every lot. Look before you leap so I don't have to read that you are unhappy.

The sales reps have ten lined up behind you and don't need to keep you in the dark about anything. They DON'T KNOW until it happens, all they can do is repeat rumors on this and that. Our wonderful sales rep, Jim McLaughlin would laugh and say..."You know more than I do, Gracie because of TOTV....I didn't, but I heard rumors. AND that is what they are until the powers that be say WHAT is happening.

You can buy ahead of time (before you can use the home) and then be happy or not and sell and move, or you can wait to buy until you can retire or snow bird...and then be happy or not and sell and move, you can buy a resale, a new home, or you can wait to leap like many of us have done, until our other real estate is sold and we feel comfortable with our due diligence, research, asking questions, touring the place, seeing lots of new homes and resales, studying the floor plans the known options (they can change at any minute) and all of the possibilities. One thing this forum has to offer is a lot of opinions, advice, speculation and attitudes and a bit of solid information.

We bought a new spec home in 2008 in Hadley, a Camellia, we were completely satisfied with it and the neighborhood and love the friends we made there. Last year we built in a new neighborhood, our Frog house and we loved the process and it was the best and easiest build we have ever done.

I am satisfied. More than satisfied...and a huge fan of this place and the whole process... We have built many homes over time and bought four new ones too.

Disclaimer...I don't work for the Morses, or have ever laid eyes on any of them.

I am a senior citizen, living with the love of my life and very happy here in Lower Paradise.
