Central Florida's new construction market is one of the most active in the country — with major builder activity in Horizon West, Lake Nona, Avalon Park, and infill communities throughout the metro offering warranties, modern finishes, and often builder incentives.
Talk to an AgentCentral Florida's new construction market spans a wide range — from townhomes in Horizon West starting in the mid-$300s to custom lakefront estates in Windermere and Dr. Phillips exceeding $5M. Major national and regional builders operate throughout the metro, and BKRS represents buyers in new construction transactions — providing representation at no additional cost to the buyer in most cases, as builder commissions are built into the purchase price whether or not a buyer has representation. Having independent representation on a new construction purchase protects buyer interests that builder sales agents cannot serve.
Central Florida is among Florida's most active new construction markets — with national homebuilders delivering thousands of homes annually across price points from the mid-$300s to $1M+ in master-planned communities.
In the current market, many builders offer incentives — rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and design upgrades — particularly on standing inventory and spec homes. Incentive availability changes frequently; verify directly with each builder.
Builder sales representatives work for the builder — not the buyer. BKRS provides independent buyer representation at new construction purchases, reviewing contracts, negotiating terms, and protecting buyer interests throughout the process.
New construction homes typically carry builder warranties covering structural elements, mechanical systems, and workmanship. Always conduct an independent home inspection even on new construction — warranty coverage varies and independent inspections identify issues before closing.
Horizon West is Central Florida's most active new construction corridor — Waterleigh, Hamlin, Independence, and others offer townhomes from the mid-$300s to single-family homes at $400K–$700K. Multiple national builders operate here with varying incentive programs. BKRS tracks current availability.
Lake Nona's Laureate Park, Town Center, and newer sections continue delivering new construction at $500K–$1.5M. Medical City proximity, fiber internet, and trail connectivity make Lake Nona new construction particularly competitive with resale.
Avalon Park and adjacent east Orlando communities offer new construction townhomes and single-family homes with UCF and Research Park access. Prices typically $400K–$650K in this corridor.
New construction in Dr. Phillips is primarily infill and specific developments like Ruby Lake — offering modern builds in an established community at $500K–$1M+ with access to Restaurant Row, top schools, and community amenities.
Buying new construction requires specific steps distinct from resale: (1) Register with a buyer's agent before your first builder visit to ensure representation, (2) Review the builder contract with an attorney, (3) Conduct independent inspections at foundation, framing, and final stages, (4) Understand warranty coverage specifics, (5) Compare builder financing to third-party lenders.
BKRS represents buyers in new construction transactions throughout Central Florida. Our representation protects buyer interests without adding buyer cost — builder commissions are factored into pricing whether or not a buyer has representation. Contact BKRS before your first builder visit to secure representation.
Many buyers mistakenly believe that going directly to a builder — without a buyer's agent — will save money. In most cases, the builder's commission structure is built into the home price regardless of whether the buyer has representation. The builder's sales agent represents the builder's interests. An independent buyer's agent from BKRS represents your interests — reviewing contracts, negotiating terms, coordinating inspections, and advocating at every stage of the process at no additional cost to the buyer in most transactions.
Builder incentives in Central Florida vary significantly by builder, community, inventory status, and market conditions. Rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and design upgrade packages are commonly available on standing inventory. The incentive landscape changes frequently — BKRS tracks current builder programs and can advise buyers on where the strongest incentive packages are currently available. Verify all incentive terms directly with builders before making decisions.
