SuziQ,
I started looking august 2011 for a property and just could not find exactly what i wanted in a preowned. I crave morning sunlight (about to croak from these 2 overcast days) so needed east/south to the rear. A few days ago I decided to build and my agent took me to section 210 in Gilchrist, to a lot with a direct east exposure and the most incredible view of trees/pond/course. Altho that lot had been sought after by others it was my lucky day that the section had been released and the lot became mine.
There is an incredible sense of ownership in building it yourself. I suggest you figure out what kind of lot works best for you and what size model you need and get the agent to help you find a lot that makes you wildly happy.
Caution: it is unlikey you can set a time you want to build and then find a great lot. If possible, go ahead with choosing and building asap. The street i bought on was sold out in a few days.
