Brian Wilder's Advisory Note
Smith Farm South carries the premium price floor in the non-premium-lot tier of Smith Farm. The key question before any offer is what's driving the premium on the specific property — lot size, home footprint, or section position — and whether a section-specific HOA applies in addition to the master. Confirm FP/Zinsco and polybutylene before contract. Verify the school zone with the specific address.
