Who said the market is slowing down?
Today we were wandering through the new display village in Fernbrooke. Only a couple of displays are open so far, but one was by Plantation Homes and had a nice house on display. It opened this morning. It turns out that they were building quite a few homes in the first release of the estate and they are all due to be finished by Christmas. We had a drive by, then went home to contemplate options. We decided that $340,000 for a nice house on a decent block was worth the less-than-perfect house plan and went straight back to put down a deposit. By the time we got back half of the blocks were gone, and the block we wanted had gone only five minutes earlier! By that time there was only one house left in the release that we liked, and it was facing the wrong way for the sun. So back to the drawing board. It would have saved us about $20,000.
