He Challenged Me on This… So I Went With Him

Florida new construction homes are offering big builder incentives, lower interest rates, closing cost help, and quick move-in deals — but are buyers seeing the full picture? In this video, I sit down with Wayne and talk about a buyer who challenged me on my opinion about new construction in Florida. He believed buying a brand-new home made more sense than buying an older resale home, especially with the incentives builders are offering right now. And honestly, he made some good points. We break down the real pros and cons of buying new construction, including builder incentives, interest rate buy-downs, closing cost credits, warranties, insurance advantages, HOA fees, CDD fees, lot sizes, drainage issues, taxes, inspections, resale value, and why you should never walk into a builder’s sales office without someone representing you. New construction can be a great move for the right buyer, especially if you need lower upfront costs, fewer repairs, modern insurance features, and a simple move-in process. But it can also come with surprises people don’t think about until after they close. Before you buy a new construction home in Florida, make sure you understand what the builder is offering — and what you may be giving up.
