I would say...maybe for awhile...no more custom built homes. If you look at how things have been done in the past, they did all spec homes, than custom homes, now perhaps all spec homes again ...you never know what "their" plans are. I love to watch it unfold.
When I went to Thevillages.com site I see that they have a new premier model called the Kingsbay and they do not have a floorplan or a picture of it yet. They have a new designer model called the Boxwood that seems a lot like the Bridgeport. I always am intriqued when they add new models or change a few details on the old models and rename them. My favorite designers of all times are the Camellia/Gardenia and the Lantana...but now they have changed them each a little and called them different names. Actually I don't see a Lantana in the designer model lineup. I think they are building on smaller lots now. That could be greed...or just good business. Keep in mind they are keeping a lot of folks employed and that is a good thing.
So the sales department/design team may well be tweaking models, adding new models, making decisions on what kinds of homes have been selling and building specs that quite possibly will be very beautiful. They did it before.
People who live here who know someone who knows someone will tell you with absolute authority what is gonna happen. I am telling you that NO ONE knows until it happens. NO ONE...except the folks behind the curtain. The wizards of oz.
