Having the right agent with you is crucial when shopping for new construction, as he or she can be a great help in navigating through the many new home options available in over-55 communities in the Ocala area.
While generally the prices on new homes are a little higher than for a resale home with equivalent square feet, buying a new home, particularly one in a retirement community, has a number of significant advantages, including:
NEW HOME WARRANTY--Your new home will generally be covered by the builder's new home warranty program, which gives you peace of mind during the first year of ownership and in some cases even beyond. For example, new SummerGlen homes not only include the one-year builder's warranty from Florida Leisure Communities, but also have a 10-year insured warranty through the nationwide Residential Warranty Corporation.
YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR HOME--Building a new home gives you the freedom to choose your colors and options so that your home is "perfect" for you. Plus some builders, such as SummerGlen's builder Florida Leisure Communities, work with you to fully customize your home for special lifestyle needs, such as a larger garage, handicap access, or more outdoor living space.
YOUR HOME WILL HAVE THE LATEST IN SAFETY AND ENERGY EFFICIENCY--Because new homes are built to the latest building codes, you'll benefit from additional building requirements that make your home safer and less prone to damage during storms. Plus your home will probably have a more efficient heating/cooling system and other energy saving features.
