The reason I'm asking is because we recently discovered that the lot we've reserved is inches short of adding the stretch we want. We've gone back to the drawing board and searched for lots that might be close to meeting our needs, and even letting go of some of our other wants with respect to orientation, etc. (Figuring out lot dimensions is no easy task)! After much work, we've discovered that there are fewer lots available that meet our dimensional needs, except those that have a very high lot premium on the golf course. When we compare the costs of those to re-sales, the re-sales seem better priced, with mature landscaping and all the other amenities that people have added over the years. Since we put a full year's deposit down, we are really in a quandry. I thought building our own would enable us to get what we want; instead we are feeling really stuck. Still, glad it worked out for you, but was wondering how, if you don't mind my asking.
Our rep told us that the deposit can go for another lot or any spec, but not for a resale even if TV is listing it ... Sorry to give you that news .... We are going down tomorrow for design on Mon. But have all day Sun. with our rep looking at specs.and lots. I was hoping lots on Bluebeard Ct would open up .....not yet!
Good luck with your pursuit!
