buying a lot
Can you buy a lot and go through the whole design process for all series of houses? I don't recall ever seeing a lot listed for sale for any of the patio or courtyard villas. Are those all spec built homes?

Patio Villas and Courtyard Villas are all spec-built.

Contact your villages sales agent, when we did this in 2013, we got lucky and lots were available, this is not always the case. our agent found a very nice lot, and we built our dream home, and then moved in about 5 months later.

Keep in mind, also, that until the closing happens, you don't actually "buy" a lot. You reserve or hold a lot. Title is transferred at closing, and if you have a mortgage, a lien is filed against the home with the clerk of courts.

I am sure we actually bought the lot, $65,000, and at closing we just took the mortgage for the house and got the full deed, but I also assume these things change, so ask you agent. Also, be very cautious about outside financing, the villages was very specific that closing MUST occur within 30 days of completion, Citizens First Mortgage was able to do this, some lenders cannot, and I think there is a penalty if the 30 day window is missed.
