You know Mike, I don't know that they really would have negotiated with you. Last year my sister was doing a loan for a guy in that development, Pulte failed the final inspection (nothing major but it was something they had to take care of). They were trying to say that if the guy didn't close by so and so date, that they were canceling the contract, but it was their fault! They told him they could sell it for 40k more than he purchased it for, this was right when things picked up again. Obviously that didn't fly and the guy closed, but makes me think that they would have probably just sold your lot to someone else.
No but really, that has crossed my mind, that the lot could have been sold if we didn't snatch it up. They were only releasing 3 lots per month and we only liked 2 of the 3 they released when we were ready to buy. One of them sold so then that sort of put the fire under our butts and we moved forward. There are only 74 lots in the community and only about 20 were still left when we bought but for the orientation we wanted (garage facing west, backyard facing east) plus with a the garage on the left, this was the only lot left in the whole community. So yea, I guess I can take some comfort in thinking maybe we wouldn't have gotten it at all if we tried to negotiate.
