Shoddy construction happens everywhere. Specifically in new developments. You’re hiring humans after all. :1rotfl: but I have to say, my new house in Hawkins didn’t have much wrong and the issues I had weren’t with construction. :thumbup:

When I were a lad, we slept in the fields, and built beautiful houses.
We did the building when we were awake!:icon_wink:

They were most likely waiting for the cement to set before doing the final finish, which is time sensitive. My brother was a cement finished so don't be so quick to judge and accuse them of shoddy work. They work incredibly hard from early morning and late night for under $15/20 an hour. We have often seen them on roofs at night . You wouldn't have your new house but for these hard workers. And, in 90+ heat.

I would wonder about the quality if the workers were not getting sleep.

Developer is not ‘holding back’ - they limit the number of homes available on their web site. It fluctuates between 25 and 35. If 45 signed a contract for a home today, the developer would have them.
They are trying to create the impression of limited supply.

Houses may continue to sell when priced high because what some call overexuberance.

:1rotfl:
Holding back & limiting number available..........isn't that the same thing???

I hope that bill passes and Canadians are allowed more time in the USA. Love our northern neighbors and are thankful they like to live in The Villages.

It's almost always been that way. Been here 10 years. Nothing new.

Sales staff is very busy at the showcase of homes on Rahilly Rd. Daily open houses. Street was full of cars on a Wed afternoon.

Developer has learned to dig lots of holes, fill it with water and charge 200,000 premium. These are the overpriced houses. They are printing money

Interest rates are low. Houses will sell. THAT'S IT!
Hit 5%, let's see what happens.
Rates should not be 3%. They're being held down as long as the administration can hold them down. ( just as the markets are being propped up) Gotta keep the fiat flowing.

And the buyers learned the sale price of waterview lots increased $150 -250K the past 18 mo...

Rather strong accusation and probably said without knowledge on the subject….

You don’t make sense. They were finishing concrete taking a nap then waking to finish the job.
How does that affect quality, if the left after one troweling, then you might have a point.
:ho:

You seem to have “learned” a lot in 3 months. And bashing the Developer. May not be too late to move on.
