Thank you for your thoughts. I am not a real estate expert and I appreciate your view. There are a couple spec homes that meet our timeline that we are considering. The concern was if we buy in phase one of a big development like Skye Canyon, would we be able to at least break even after three years? Assuming we may need to sell it and move again. My concern was that the builders would be building new homes across the street and that may make our home less attractive to buyers. That is why I was trying to analyze what the surrounding neighborhood pricing trends are currently. It seems that the builders may have taken that into account with the different phases, but as always these things are a bit of a gamble.
We are not interested in a pool in most of the homes we see, because we have two small children and most homes do not have them gated in the backyard. A lot of communities seem to have one as part of the HOA, which is nice.
Any further thoughts are appreciated.
