I defy anybody to drive around and point out which homes are "spec" homes and which were customer built.
Forget it one cannot.
Spec home is really a misnomer here. Most contractors build spec homes to fill in low sales and keep a basic working crew viable, until things pick up.
That is not the case here in TV. As we approach build out, with demand increasing, there is no need to market as when there was more property to sell.
The demand for homes in TV continues to grow. It becomes much more efficient for the developer to build homes and then offer them to the market.
They have years and years of design and spec experience and are building these homes to equal to or better than most people would choose.
For those who were not here during the "boom" years of late 2004 through 2006 (500 - 600 homes per month!!!) you are in for an education. TV will release homes as sections are complete. Prospective buyers will have their name put on a list by type of home wanted. When a number of new homes are completed the prospective buyer will be contacted and told what the house is like, that is most like or better than they were looking to build/buy. They will be told the price and where it is located and will be given a finite time limit to say yes or no. During the "boom" days some as little as 24 hours.
Every home offered will sell very quickly after notification. Yes you can turn it down and ...wait. But your name goes to the bottom of the list.
There is not one single negative aspect to this method of controlled building/selling (like it or not). Nice new completed neighborhood without any construction and contractor traffic. All new happy as a clam owners who I am sure will in no way refer to "their" new home as a spec home......that is not what it is.
As the new homes build out the demand for resales will become even more active than it is now. The baby boomers will continue to want to be in TV....and when built out there will be a finite avaialability.....with increasing demand = increasing prices. Another plus for buying in TV.
Day dreaming? Just watch.
