Hey All.

My wife and I are looking into building a new house. We built our first house 4 years ago and have quickly outgrown it with a 2 yeard old and another one due in december. The lot we like backs on to green space and is $9000 more then the exact same lot across the street. Obviously there are so many advantages to being on green space. But with my wife going on to maternity, and going to be working even less then she is now, I was wondering if there was any advice on getting builders to cut down some of thier costs to get prices into a more comfurtable range, say 5- 10 grand less then what they state, when you sit down with them, Right now I'm frustrated with architectural controls and a paying 9 grand more to be on green space.

Feedback appreciated
