Why New Construction Is On The Rise In SW Florida
With low inventory for single family homes coupled with increasing home prices, would-be Florida transplants turned to builders to get their slice of paradise during the pandemic.
And why not? Building a custom home allows you to pick the exact home site you want, neighborhood, size and square footage you need, and personalize your home your way, with the latest high tech, innovative products on the market.
The Attraction Of SW Florida
Most of these buyers flocking to SW Florida from the midwest, California, and the northeast are baby boomers on the verge of retirement. In light of the pandemic and its impact, some have decided to make a move a little earlier than they had planned.
Again….why not? Working remotely while living in paradise is a huge enticement. Palm trees, beaches, boating, the laid-back lifestyle, outdoor dining venues nearly year-round are just a few selling points that lure people here.
This area also offers favorable tax laws and no state-income tax. Add that to the warm weather and sunshine, it’s no wonder so many people have decided to make southwest Florida their new home.
And even though prices for a single-family home have risen, they remain affordable for those coming from the northeast and west coast. Prices to build or buy here are typically lower than in New York City, Beverly Hills, Denver, and other desirable cities.
