To the OP who had dreamed of a brand spanking new home. There will be choices and new areas opening up.

What is challenging is getting things all coordinated. For instance you had wanted a home in a certain area but you had not sold the home back north or you HAD sold the home back north and you need to act NOW.

If you want a resale there are HUNDREDS of wonderful choices. If you want a new home there are HUNDREDS of choices.

AND if you buy something and the view isn't what you like or the house is way too small or a little too big...well then you will join the ranks of thousands of us and you will sell and move. It is far easier to sell a house here than to sell a house from whence you came AND the moving expenses are far lower and by then you have jettisoned all the extra stuff.

AND...I still say you can sell it yourself. But you can't do it in under a year and make money without a penalty. Everyone shoud know this....There is a clause in your new home agreement that says somehow that if you sell at a profit in under a year there is a penalty. AND that is to discourage flippers.

I know of someone who buys Premiers and resells them in just over a year because we looked at a couple of those homes.
