I'm buying a Ryan Home too =P ha ha... I get a couple of discounts though because our company owns Ryan Homes. It's a good builder and they have a great warranty... so you chose wisely. I also looked at that community about 6 months ago, and it's not bad out there, but yeah a little far for me.
Oh, did you saying you're buying a to be built home, or is that a spec home you're buying? They chose some decent options in that one. Awesome looking house man, you're going to love it. I think you'll get over the commute as long as you get your schedule worked out. It's just like when you're at JMU... you had to leave mad early to find a parking spot =P
I don't mean to hijack, but I'm excited about this too ^_^
Unfortunately the only pics I have are on my camera phone which I can't upload. The 2 story great room, loft and owner's suite are unbelievable. The house is about 1837 square feet.
Exterior elevations (mine is the third one from the left - because it's the least expensive)

I can't display the floor plans, but here's the link to the PDF file if you want to check it out:

The community like I said is close to Lake Wylie, downtown Charlotte, Lake Norman, Carowinds (like Kings Dominion) and most importantly some good friends of mine who live down there. Golf course community, pool, the entire community including your yard is irrigated and mowed / maintained, included security system, all kinds of neat stuff. The only options that I priced in were:
Cherry spice 42" cabinetry (highest level)
Gas fireplace with slate surround (the rear wall looks weird without it, I saw some photographs that were taken from a house under construction)
Loft w/ upgraded railings
4 extra recessed lights for the kitchen, 2 standard fixtures there deleted
Level 1 carpet & pad upgrade throughout the house
I still have some good contacts from working in construction, so the easy stuff like countertops and upgraded flooring can come later. After my employee discount and standard incentives (employees aren't allowed to negotiate
), it looks like the price will be about $175k, with 3k in closing costs paid and our loan origination fee waived.
Who's coming with me???
