I'm sleeping on it to decide if this is where I want to sleep for the indefinite future.
You will have to use your imagination, cuz I wont' be sleeping on dirt obviously. In 70 days, they can turn this lot into this.
Does 70 days sound reasonable for you experienced new home buyers? Sounds soon to me. That pushes back my ideal moving date by at least a month. But for a new home, I guess it is worth it. One more summer month that I will have my apartment pool available to me.
Anyway, I told the builders that I would think about it over the weekend. And barring any angels coming to me in my sleep tonight predicting 7 years of drought and desolation, I will most likely go forward with this plan. Honestly, there are many appealing things about this house and builder, and location. Of course there are also drawbacks. I keep telling myself that this decision does not have to be for the rest of my life. But it can be if I want it.

I would say that if you are not comfortable, don't sign the contract. However, it seems like you are being realistic, which is important for buying a new house. To answer your question, yes 70 days seems reasonable for them to finish your house. We broke ground at the end of March and are closing this week. We signed our first papers on Groundhog day, which puts us around the 70 day total mark.
I hope you find some peace in your decision! Feel free to call me if you want to discuss building a house. Good luck! =)
WOW. I'm so proud of you. Even if you don't go through with it I'm proud that you are serious about finding a house. And if you do go through with it, it's a beautiful home! How many bedrooms/baths? Keep us posted!
p.s. I finally did that ThreeMeme you tagged me on a long while ago. :)
