Good Afternoon Becky,

A great idea would be for you to speak to neighbors in the area. They would be the best to let you know how extensive the smell gets. Also remember we are in the winter months the smell may get worse in the summer months when the air is warm and stale. This is definately something to consider. However as stated below it doesn't really affect the homes selling. Normally the complaints come from those outside the area and not familiar with the area. But I truly believe speaking to a few people who actually live there or at least close by would be a great idea. Perhaps take a stroll through the neighborhood and catch a few neighbors outside.

On another note you should be sure you are represented by a Buyer's Agent. It costs you nothing and the site agent only represents the builder. If this particular sale does not work out and you do not have a Buyer's agent you should definately remember to have one for the next opportunity to purchase. You should NEVER enter a new construction site without an agent as once you do, even if it is to gather information, you will not be given the opportunity to be represented by your own agent. The new construction site agents are very strict about this and they tend to remember everyone who enters their sales center. Good luck with your purchase.
