So, we went out to the neighborhood on Saturday to see the progress by the light of day!
There isn't a ton to report, but they've definitely graded off a good portion of our lot and smoothed it down. It's very muddy now, so they must have added some water as they were stirring stuff up (our shoes are disgusting!). It's a bit hard to figure out if there is any rhyme or reason to what they've smoothed out, but we think we have a pretty good idea of where the house is going to start and where our yard will be. It's pretty unreal to think that a house will be there in 3.5 months!! They've also sold the lot across the cul-de-sac from us, so there will probably be 3 total houses on our cul-de-sac that are almost finished when we move in. Hopefully, they will continue to sell, sell, sell!! They're also beginning to pave the road that is going to run a bit behind our lot.
Centex is having a big push to sell their spec. houses this week and there is one that is our same elevation and floor plan (with a few more upgrades than ours--but nothing exorbitant) that they are listing for $16,000 MORE than our final price. We are SO happy that we listened to Sharon who told us that prices would go up as we get closer to the spring and summer buying season. Building was a really, really good idea!
We're waiting to see if we'll be affected at all by the water restrictions, so hopefully we'll hear something this upcoming week.
We took three pictures of the lot, building permit, and the front of the doc box:
