Are the developers now building homes to suit the buyer's needs or design? I thought I read that somewhere on this forum but can't find it.

How many designer homes are in inventory Can you still get deals or does it depend on the individual developer?

Thanks Johnny. I've seen that link but I'm wondering more if the developer is letting buyers customize their homes such as they did before. I know at one time there was a design center and buyers had the opportunity to select and customize their homes. Do you know if they went back to this format?

Our villages Realtor said there are certain areas for designer homes that now allow customizing. Pick a lot...pay your deposit and tell them what you want from a variety of combinations. Can't do it on a CYV!

Bet that brightened your day, Nance! ;) I have heard the same thing...not as custom as before, but better than recently.

So in essence, you pick the site and colors. I was hoping it would inlcude upgrades like applainces, cabinets, etc.

Oh well, maybe it will come to that again!

Nanci it says select your interior decor package. What does that mean anyway?

Hold on my dear...it is going to happen, somehow, some way. Your phone call has made me anxious. http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/panicsmiley2.gif (http://www.millan.net) I have had my fingers crossed for you all week (and Johnny, you too). http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/goodluck.gif (http://www.millan.net) I'm hoping & praying that this is the one, and that you sell now. Then we can look seriously for homes in Apr...at least for you & Pete, Nance.
(sigh) I hope ours will sell quickly when it goes on the market...coming up soon.

Thanks Susan. This is really something everybody praying for everybody else. I'm sure the good Lord is working overtime for all of us. Have faith, one day we will all be in paradise, one way or the other!

As far as cabinets, etc. The sales staff will show you several homes. You may then pick an interior package and an exterior package. The interior package will include everything inside (except appliances, you get to choose them from other packages) such as cabinets, countertops, flooring, wall colors, lights. You cannot vary from that. The exterior package includes outside colors, roofing color, and lights. You also get a few choices in garage size, bumping out the front and extending the back lanai. (At least that was with the Premier homes). Also, if the lot permits, you can pick a pool package.

Hope this info helps.
