Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of buying pre-construction?+
Buying pre-construction allows you to secure today’s pricing before completion, often with flexible deposit structures, customization options, and the potential for appreciation by the time the home or condo is delivered. Let's talk, and I'll explain the benefit for each project you're interested in.
What is the typical deposit structure for a pre-construction purchase?+
Most pre-construction developments in Florida require deposits totaling 40–50% of the purchase price, spread out in stages during construction. The remaining balance is due at closing. Let's talk, and I'll explain the exact deposit schedule for each project you're interested in.
Can foreign buyers purchase pre-construction in Florida?+
Yes, foreign buyers are welcome and frequently invest in pre-construction projects across Florida. Many developers accept foreign buyers without additional requirements, and financing options may also be available. Let's talk, and I'll explain the exact deposit schedule for each project you're interested in.
How long does it usually take for a pre-construction project to be completed?+
Timelines vary by project, but most pre-construction condos in Florida take 3–5 years from groundbreaking until completion. Delivery dates are typically outlined in the purchase agreement.
What closing costs should I expect when buying a pre-construction condo?+
Closing costs generally range from 3–5% of the purchase price and may include developer fees, title insurance, recording fees, and in some cases, a contribution to the condo association’s reserves.
Does it cost anything to work with you as a buyer?+
In most pre- or new construction purchases, buyer representation is arranged without extra cost. Let's talk, and I'll explain how it works for each project you're interested in.
