Plans change...

Well we got the official word...other builder is not willing to sell Ryan the lot for us. Blah.

After much discussion with the hubby, no new existing homes coming on the market, and some convincing from our SR, we have decided to go to a RH community as opposed to building offsite. We love the Ravenna model and were really convinced it was the floor plan for us. The new community is so ridiculously close to were we wanted to build "offsite" I suppose it will be just the same.

Currently the RH community is an extension of an existing development, however, new for RH. So far in the "new" area there is only the model, one house that was finished the same time as the model, another lot that was sold, one on hold right next to us, and our lot. Our SR showed us the plan for the continued development and it looks good...we will not have any neighbors directly behind us, just fields! That was a plus. Also - apparently the town received grant money and is creating a bike path/walking trail from the community - another plus. RH worked out a deal with us for moving communities - plus. In the end, I think this will be a great thing for our family.

On the not so plus side of things - we had to go and sign a new contract (still haven't had anything official from NVR), and now our construction start will probably not be until June with delivery date as August/September - boooo! SR said she will continue to try and push it forward, but who knows if that will work out. We really would LOVE to get in our new house before school starts for kiddos and hubby in the fall...not to mention current lease ends September 1. 

So here I will sit reading about everyone else's home building excitement as I wait at least another month or two for things to get started :(
