Parrish the thought: You wouldn’t think of buying a pair of shoes without trying them on, right? Well, now there’s a builder that’s going to let you do the same with a home. Del Webb, which is part of the PulteGroup, is allowing prospective buyers to spend up to two nights in a furnished unit at its BayView 55 and over community in Parrish starting in February. The idea is to allow people to get a feeling for the community (950 single-family homes and low-maintenance villas) by giving them access to its trails and amenities. A two-night stay will cost about $300 and includes a meal at the on-site restaurant, Sailfish Bar & Grill.
