When do new homes get released to the website? When do sites get released to the website?
I keep looking for a new home w a fence or a lot that will allow a fence and they seem to be gone immediately. |

I would suggest that you find a very experienced VLS agent and tell them what you are looking for. They will notify you about new houses and lots before they show up on a website. One that I can recommend is Chris Hallmark.

There are plenty of homes available with fences (courtyard villas and verandas), is there a particular model you are looking for?
Lots won't allow fences, you would only be able to select from designer or in some cases premier homes. They seem to release some every few days, perhaps more on Friday or when a new neighborhood opens up. As mentioned a VLS agent can let you know when new properties are released, typically 24 hours before they get posted on the website. As of this morning (6/25) there are 80 Courtyard Villas and 8 Verandas new/active listings. 27 of the Courtyard Villas have discounts, ranging from 3 to 6%, an average reduction of $16k. They are all in Lake County (Lake Denham or Dabney) so slightly higher taxes but have lower bonds compared to the homes in Moultrie Creek and Shady Brook.

There are currently courtyard villas for sale at a discount so it must be more than just a fence. Do you have a sales agent? They’ll be much more helpful than vague posts on TOTV since obviously you have specific criteria and a sales agent can help you find exactly what you’re looking for.

As prior posts suggest, look at resales and talk to some good VLS and/or MLS realtors. If a co,urt, yard villa meets your needs, there's your fence. If you want new construction, what we did at the time was drive around ourselves where the new construction was taking place. When they're about 80% completed and before they hit the VLS listings, you can tell the model, color, orientation, etc. We found the home we liked and tipped off the realtor that we wanted it ASAP.
It came on the market in the next couple days and , bingo, we got it. Easy sale for the realtor too! Be your own best advocate in this and do the work, don't leave it to the realtors. |

Only this agent can give you the information you seek, for specific homes or sites. If you are using an agent maybe you have not stressed that you are Buying. Without a VLS agent you are just spinning your wheels trying to find on new releases. If your agent has your needs, they will contact you 24 hours before that home or lot is released. You, site unseen if you are not in TV, ask your agent, to put your name on a house (sometimes more than one house, so pick top 3). If your name is first you have 48 hours to accept or reject. Only then will you know what new houses are released. You have started multiple threads, about multiple new villages, asking for help. Trust me no one on this site can give you information that you seek. VLS agents are your only hope, if you don’t have one, PM me I will give you some ideas.

VLS agents get a list of upcoming new lots and homes releases on Wednesdays. The new lots and homes get released on Fridays and it's a scramble for the most desirable properties. What's left over from the scramble is put on the website Saturday or Sunday. You really need to contact a VLS agent and ask to be notified of any new releases that meet your requirements.

I'd look up Beth Pope and get on her mailing list. She sends emails a day or 2 before things get released with lots of info. I haven't used her but I get the emails and they are very informative.

So you think Beth Pope gets that list before anyone else? Or is she the only one of over 300 sales agents who sends the list out. Fun Fact… my neighbor tried to use Beth to sell her home and after it not selling for months, changed agents and it sold. Beth had it way overpriced. Sat for 5 months. Once the price dropped with the new agent, it sold immediately.

I would think all the lots in a given area are also released at the same time, as the builder releases them. As for existing homes for sale, they would come up as they are offered for sale. I believe |

People with vls realtor get notified before they go live on the website. The best homes or lots immediately get put on hold by the agent for the buyer to sign paperwork and coordinate deposit. Thats why so many are already pending when they hit the website.

Thanks to our agent, we had pics of what would eventually be build lot. We didn’t know when lots would be released until the 24 hour window. We didn’t get any of the larger lots, that would accommodate our needs including 3 car garage. There were 17 lots total that would work. But we did get a view lot, that house would fit and could add the pool.
