Builders shop a year before the model home opens, and they leave receipts. Lennar recorded 784 deeds in Hillsborough in twelve months, PulteGroup 264, and Ashton Woods is accelerating. The boards heard 248 land-use items in Hillsborough in 90 days, every one of them public. If you own acreage in the path, the worst move is selling before the approval next door lands, and the second worst is signing the first option contract you are handed. Five items from the deed and hearing record.
