The market have started to rise dramatically on new homes in the span of the last few months. Pre-owned have risen about 10%. If one procastrinates, it will cost even more. IMHO

When we were looking here in Dec 2012, we briefly considered a patio villa, the cheapest ones were about $145,000. IIRC Today, 10/28/2013, this is the cheapest patio Villa:
VNH# 959014
Colony - 2 BED 2 BATH
3*** CARRABELLE CT
Village of Collier
Price: $148,734
With that said, as others have pointed out, it is very hard to compare anything other than a villa, as lots and included features are so varied on all the other home series. With Patio Villas, it is easier to comapre "then and now", as there are somewhat less differences in lots. In Cottages and Designers, lot size, corner, or inside lot, home orientation N W S E etc), how it lines up with the back yard neighbor, cabinet choices, exterior elevation, etc, etc, etc. That doesn't mean that the prices are not going up. Its possible that the developer keeps at least one low priced Patio villa for advertising purposes.
