Selecting a Lot on Which to Build
When I stumbled upon Reserve at Brushy Creek in Cedar Park, I new it would be a good neighborhood for us.
We had been talking about moving for years but couldn't think of anywhere to go. We did want to stay in the Austin area because our children and grandchildren are here but we wanted a one-story house with a 3-car garage and didn't want to move any further away from our kids. Plus, like everyone else, we had a budget.
What we liked about this neighborhood was that it is landlocked by another neighborhood and is only going to be 100 homes, it has a community pool, there was a 1-story floorplan that would work for us with a 3-car garage, it was only 10 minutes further away than where we currently live and it was within our budget.
Next we needed to select a lot. We spent about an hour walking the streets with a plat to check out the lots. We decided we didn't want to back to another house and liked the section that would back to a seldom used road into the neighborhood beyond. We selected a lot that viewed the acerage of the house beyond, was relatively level and toward the top of the street.
Our floorplan wouldn't fit on that lot! We went back to the street and looked at the lot next to it. Still not deep enough. Finally, our third choice fit nicely. I negotiated the hold deposit and we are set. When that section opens to build, they will notify us with a limited time to confirm our purchase.
If you are interested in purchasing new construction, I can represent you. Let me know if you would like e to show you my new neighborhood.

New Construction Home Buying
We are buying a new home!
Time goes by so fast, we have actually been in our house for 23 years. With the kids grown and gone, we re-evaluated our situation and as much as we love our house, we decided that it just isn't meeting our current needs. We want a one-story, 3-car garage with a large and open family/dining/kitchen area for our expanding family that visits. Instead of down-sizing, we are actually buying a bigger house.
Yesterday we put a hold deposit on a lot in a new development! Will keep you posted.
UPDATE: The time went by faster than I thought. With a little over 30 days left to closing we placed our home on the market using my REALTOR, Elle Scott as the listing agent and received 2 offers within 6 days. With one under contract and a lease-back just in case the builder doesn't make their scheduled deadline, we are scheduled to move early August.

Terminating a Residential Real Estate Contract in Texas
In Texas, a Texas Association of REALTORS promulgated 1-4 Family Residential Contract to purchase a property for sale (which is the form that REALTORS use) includes an Option Termination clause giving the buyer the UNRESTRICTED RIGHT to terminate within the time allowable and receive the earnest money back. Unrestricted means you do not have to give a reason.
