Our home in the Village of Springdale was built in 28 days. We were in Texas so we hired someone to take pictures and email them to us. I kept getting pictures of dirt. Finally I had our realtor go out to the property and said the pictures were right, they hadn't started. That was December 2. We closed January 22 and the house was complete with only minor cosmetic touchups needed. That was 7 years ago.

Happily we will close on our designer on April 8th. February 4th we signed papers, at noon February 5th our lot was graded, within two weeks the the slab was poured and Conrete Block walls were in place. Our original closing date was April 15th but we have moved it up to April 8th. I believe that makes it 63 days. All that is lacking are the appliances and the appraisal.

It's really amazing how fast the designer homes go up. I live in Hemingway where there's been a ton of new homes built since I bought mine in Oct. 2009. I watched a house across the street go up - in 30 days they had the roof on and only needed to complete the interior finishing. The thing is that the process is so automated. The materials are delivered. They don't have to wait for concrete or blocks or roofing - it's all there. And the builders work every day, even some Sundays, from dawn to dark. Very tight schedule.

Thanks golfnut! Where do I pick up my prize?

I hope you Borns move into that house and make it a home in the very first week!

I hope when you open your eyes in the morning you look around and smile to yourself and think, "This is right".

I hope you walk out into the sunshine and into the smiles and hugs of your neighbors and that the air on your street is sweeter and clearer than any you have ever breathed.

I hope you enjoy this lovely place, here with us, who love it too, for at least a thousand years.

Welcome HOME!!

"Ancient history"

Ground worked and stakes set approx. 24 October 2004.

Closed 24 January 2005.

Essentially 90 days. I was surprised, but I see it can be done faster!

Back then, the builder of my house was one of 8 or 10 companies, each building close to 50 homes of all sizes at the same time. Must have slowed them down some!

We signed our contract on March 13th. Our closing is set for June 3rd.

They started construction on April 3rd and where finished last week May 8th. There are some items they are finishing (exterior pole light, one of the outside lights on the garage).

But I agree, they are smoking something if they think you can do it in 20 days.

I have some friends that just had a Gardenia built in Tamarind Grove and it took 35 days. It was finished about three weeks before their actual closing date.
