Before you sign a builder contract in Florida
Builder contracts are written by the builder’s attorneys and differ from the standard Florida resale contract on deposits, timelines, and remedies — read before you sign, and bring your own agent (the builder typically pays the commission, so representation costs you nothing). Compare incentives properly: a rate buydown and an equal-dollar price cut produce different payments — run both through our builder incentive calculator. Then model the year-two tax bill with the property tax after purchase calculator (new construction often shows a lot-only bill in year one), ask for any CDD assessment and its remaining term in writing, and hire your own inspector for the pre-drywall and final walks.
