Why Buy New Construction in Orlando?

Orlando's new construction market is one of the most active in the Southeast. With 29+ communities from nationally recognized builders, buyers have options at every price point, from entry-level homes in the low $300Ks to luxury estates over $1M.

Current builder incentives include mortgage rate buydowns (some as low as 4.99% on 30-year fixed), closing cost credits up to $15K, and quick move-in inventory homes that close in 30-90 days. These incentives change monthly, so working with an agent who tracks them in real time is how you get the best deal.

The five main corridors for new construction are Horizon West/Winter Garden (most inventory), Lake Nona/Sunbridge (innovation hub), Celebration/Kissimmee (Disney-adjacent), Clermont (best value), and Oviedo/East Orlando (top schools).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a real estate agent for new construction?
Yes, and it costs you nothing extra. The builder pays the agent commission regardless. Having your own agent means someone is negotiating incentives, reviewing contracts, and watching deadlines on your behalf. Without an agent, you are relying on the builder's sales team, who works for the builder.
What are CDD fees?
Community Development District (CDD) fees fund the infrastructure the developer built: roads, parks, drainage, and utilities. They typically run $1,500 to $4,000 per year on top of your property taxes and HOA. Not every community has a CDD. Ask before you commit.
How long does it take to build a new home?
Standard builds take 6 to 10 months depending on the builder and community. Quick move-in (QMI) homes that are already under construction or complete can close in 30 to 90 days.
What builder incentives are available right now?
Incentives change monthly. Common offers include mortgage rate buydowns (4.99% to 5.75% on 30-year fixed), closing cost credits ($5K to $15K), design center credits, and price reductions on quick move-in homes. Contact us for the current incentive sheet across all builders.
