I understand what your saying meford about the realtor selling the new homes ... but i believe its because its a smaller builder only doing 7 or 8 houses on a cul-de-sac versus a large community. But, like ZTW suggested, it would also be wise to talk to a few of the neighbours to find out if there were any problems with there homes and how they are liking the neighbourhood

Having to do work on the house doesn't bother me at all should it need minor things .. as most of the things i'd be able to do myself. The one major thing it does need is a deck in the back yard as the land slopes so that the entrance to the backyard is level with the basement.

One of the main reasons were pushing towards this new home vs. the others is the big backyard it has, aswell as a protectd greenspace behind us so well never have to worry about construction or new neighbours ... it also has a big 2 car garage :D
