Is it really that uncommon for people who buy such homes to only have three or four cars?

Yes.

Keep in mind that people shop houses on a $/Sf basis often. Garage space can't drive that metric down. It'll show up on a stat sheet, but it's not something your average homeowner will care about.

Even the 10,000 SF plus custom homes in my area average 4 bays. Sometimes 6. Rarely more. And most of that is for storage (no basements here)

Thanks. Very helpful. It looks like 118" Now I need to measure the cars.

Is it a hassle to take the top car down and out with that particular lift? I have seen some with removable ramps that one would have to drag out and leave until returning... Seems like a hassle

A few shots of progress fingers crossed doors arrive soon - picked up Porsche lights left over from a dealership build may have a few left over if someone is interested.

Got my HOA approval yesterday after they deliberated for roughly 32 seconds. My old neighborhood required me to get signatures from at least 5 neighbors just to paint the house (same colors) and I don't think I would have got that here. Can't believe I'm going to build pretty much right up to my lot line and they didn't even bat an eye at it.

Can't wait!
