a function of supply and demand.
We know from friends who have purchased spec homes here that TV did a very good job of optioning up the homes to address what most "custom" choices were in the past. For sure the have a large, detailed data base of what people have chosen over the years.
So in some respects they are doing many future buyers a favor by eliminating the customozing sessions of the past.
Speaking from experience, we customized our premier home, only to have a major expansion of lanai, bird cage, pool, etc two years after build completion.
Additionally in our premier village, I do not think there is one single home over the past 10 years that has not had some sort of remodeling/expansion.
And add to that, some that were expanded/remodeled and sold.....the new buyers, almost 100% have the house repainted, expanted/remodeled.
So in the unlikely event you don't get one exactly the configuration you want.....you can after market get it done....probably not a lot more expensive than new build.
The only aspect of spec homes, in the past, was the demand was so high TV used a lottery type system. And when your name came up and matched what you were looking for you would be called and given 24-72 hours to say yes or no.....I would not like that!!
