At the BBQ on Saturday, Nick (Sales) mentioned that the only design that will be similar to the previous ones is the Tothburg. It will be called the Tothburg 3 with some modifications and will be the second smallest floor plan.

At what point do homes, proportionately speaking, outgrow their lot sizes?

Silly me. Here I was thinking we'd maybe already reached and surpassed that point.

I second that. Holy cow!

Tothburg now the 2nd smallest? That's ok, at 3300 sqf we're already getting funny looks (the "are you crazy?" kind) from family members that think it's too big a house. I can't imagine going bigger.

Well if I was GregoryL I could imagine it but being that I'm myself, I can't.

I'd be interested to see what the 'modifications' are though. Do the modifications make it smaller? Or is it that the others are just going to be much bigger?

Hmm...wonder what the prices will be like.

We visited the sales center today. The new 56' layouts go up to 3900 sq feet. The Tothburg 3 is still the same size, but yes it's now the second smallest. The changed the exteriors of the Tothburg B, C and a D. With the 2nd floor in the front having a balcony now. The interior is only slightly different on the 2nd floor.

We still like our Tothburg 2 C better, because in our house we have a big open to above space (we didn't go with the extra bathroom on the second floor) but in the Tothburg 3 this isn't a choice anymore. On the Tothburg 3 you can't get the larger open-to-above area because they use that space for either a "loft" or a "bathroom" to give you space to get to the 2nd floor front balcony.

They had a tent setup at the sales center today, with free hot dogs, chicken, soft drinks, salad, chips and ice cream.

I doubt that it would be as profitable for them, even if there is such a market. They would have to increase their premiums to $100,000 or something like that, just for an extra 20-30 ft in depth.
