Default Need some advice

Husband and I did a LSV one year ago, came home and made the decision to plan retirement and a move to TV. Since June, we have had a sales rep and I have flown down twice to check out lots and look at models and pre-owned.
We originally picked out some nice lots in sections 213 and 225. It appears now that 213 will be all spec homes. Although I think the homes will be lovely, I hate to "jump" on a spec if section 225 will allow us to build our own. The rep is a lovely person, however, she doesn't have any info on what homes are proposed for the lots in 213 and has no idea what is planned for 225 - if they will be specs or if we can build.
I know that many TOTV residents have their ear to the ground and hear all sorts of info. We are all set to "pull-the-switch" on retirement at any time now so we want to buy/build. We would like to be ready to move by fall at the latest. Has anyone heard any information that would be useful to us in making our decision. We are looking for a designer 3/2, view, no pool but spa and birdcage OK. Any ideas? My choice would be to build in new younger villages, but if not possible, a spec or pre-owned would be OK.
