WE bought in 2008 when ONLY spec homes were available. We bought a great house and there were many to chose from of the same model with different views, different upgrades and additions and stretches. In case someone can't do the math. 2008 was only five years ago. So lots of people bought homes that they still love and they were spec homes.

I have had both and I don't think there is anything inferior to a spec home and on the plus side, you see right there what you are getting and it can be yours immediately.
