New home building in South Florida is available almost everywhere.

           There are several communities in the building stages with homes available or in preconstruction.

Raffaele can give you more information on these new communities and also arrange time to take you on a tour of the communities that fit your needs.

In the minds of many home buyers, a new home would be the first choice over a previously owned home.

You must weigh up the advantages of a new home versus a resale home.

ADVANTAGES

With a new home, you can select the floor plan that meets your needs the best. Also you can select lot location, exterior elevations and interior finishing of floors, counter tops, paint colors, electrical and plumbing fixtures and other upgrades that the builder may offer.

 Some builders allow changes to room size  or location as long as there is no change in load-bearing walls or the footprint of the home.

DISADVANTAGES

You may find that the main drawback to selecting a new home is the waiting time for the construction period which can be anywhere from eight to twelve months.

However, in most new home communities, the builder will have a small number of homes listed as spec homes. These homes are finished and usually for immediate delivery

Building a custom home first requires purchasing a lot, obtaining an architect to draw up plans and get approval from the city, and then a builder to construct the home.  This process can range from eighteen months to two years.
