Hi,
We are first time buyers and decided to build in a brand new community. The MLS listed one of the inventory homes as 4300 sq with lot size .25 acres. We visited the model home which was same as the house being built, we looked at the lot which contained the model home and made sure our lot was going to be much bigger, and the seller's agent told us our lot would be bigger. My husband did the first walk through this week after paying our earners fee and signing the contract. He noticed the lot was much smaller than we thought it would be. We went back to the contract and realized that they listed the lot on there as 7400 sq ft. When we called the agent to find out what was going on, she said the MLS usually has errors and it was a mistake and would be corrected. When we pulled the new MLS, the lot was now listed at 6500 sq ft. The house is still being constructed and will be ready in September. The size of the lot is a big deal to us, so at this point are we able to get out of the contract, renegotiate or get a lawyer involved.
