It might be better to by when you are ready to move if you don't want to rent out your home. We wanted a specific lot and a new home, so we needed to proceed. We were told the build out was around the corner, but it appears more land has been purchased.
We are figuring around 7 grand a year for upkeep on the home but wont know for sure until we sit down with the sales people. I was also told a few days ago by the sales office the build out is expected to happen in 2015. Its because of the potential build out and watching the prices rise we feel its time to buy now.

How do you know more land has been purchased? If this is true perhaps we would not feel such a urgency to buy now.

As for renting it out I was told unfurnished homes are very hard to rent. However, I suppose we have nothing to lose by trying , and this is definitely something we will consider.
