I ran through an Indies House yesterday....sm

It had a couple of box-bay windows on the front and a small porch on the end, which was opened to the master BR. I saw pictures of it on the web site...it was the one with the big white columns around the tub in the master bath. It had the 7' sidewalls, though, and those ugly walls with the strip running down them. And I didn't care for the floor plan. It was also 78,995, which I thought was a little high for the quality.
The saleslady pointed out another Indies House that wasn't put together yet. She said they had gotten it at "the show" for a good price and that it had the 8' sidewalls, 2x6 walls, 22/19/28 insulation, thermopane windows, finished sheetrock, maple kitchen cabinets, porcelain lavs, ceramic edging and backsplash (the other one had that, too...it looks nice), etc. She also said it had a wide baseboard molding. It was also 78,995! She said she didn't know why except she guess that they had really gotten a deal on it. It is the one with the sunken kitchen...I'm thinking I saw some pictures of that on their web site, too.
Do these prices seem high? Compared to what Jason or Johnny (can't remember who it was!) paid, it does to me. Of course, these were 32x80s and I believe he said his was a 28. But a salesman once told me it only costs about 5,000 more to go from 28 to 32.
I'm going to go back and look at it to see what the sheetrock, cabinets, etc. look like, but I don't like the floorplan (of course!). I'm still leaning toward designing my own floor plan, but I have a feeling, based on their "stock" prices, it would cost me big bucks to do so!
