Reach out to our new construction experts!
In the current real estate market, there is an ongoing shortage of existing homes. Homeowners who bought at lower interest rates are not as willing to sell compared to the years 2020-2021. This means that a lot of the homes on the market that would normally be overlooked are becoming a buyer’s only options. Enter new construction to solve the problem!
New construction homes in Florida vs. Existing
When older homes often need new roofing, renovations, and extensive inspections to verify their value, new home builders are like a fresh breeze into the scene. Homebuyers who want the most for their money don’t need to think too hard about it: these homes already have the upgrades they want!
Why settle for an older home when you can get a brand-new construction home in the Sunshine State? And, if you do go this route, you’ll get an even better experience with an award-winning builder. Who are the best home builders who promise quality through their years of experience and excellent customer service? We’re about to let you know right now.

A Word from Our Real Estate Expert, Matt Derocher
“If you need to remove risk and uncertainty when purchasing a new construction home, Marketplace Homes is the brokerage for you. For example, if you need to sell your current home or exit a lease to buy a new construction home, we have created programs to help in these complicated situations.
“Right now, homes are on the market longer than before and inventory is growing. It’s getting more and more unpredictable how long it will take to sell your home. When lenders need a financial guarantee, such as funds from selling your current home, to approve a loan to build a new home, your best bet is to use an investment company like us.
“Our programs Guaranteed Purchase and Guaranteed Sale can give you access to an assured cash offer that lenders prefer before approving financing. Therefore, you don’t have to wonder when (or if) your home is going to sell while providing your lender a solid guarantee that you can sell your home to buy the new construction home.
Likewise, if you’re renting and want to take advantage of the interest rate buydowns and other incentives builders are offering right now, you don’t have to wait until your lease is over. Strike while the iron is hot and use our program Rental Guarantee, which ensures that we can get you out of the lease with at no cost to you.”
