Which builders are most active in Tampa Bay new construction?

The most active national builders in Tampa Bay are Lennar, D.R. Horton, KB Home, M/I Homes, David Weekley Homes, and Pulte. Regional builders include Homes by WestBay, Casa Fresca Homes, and Park Square Homes. Each builder dominates different submarkets — Lennar leads in master-planned communities, WestBay in mid-luxury single-family, and Pulte in active-adult.

Do I need a real estate agent to buy a new construction home?

Yes — and the builder pays the buyer-agent commission, so it costs you nothing. Going unrepresented leaves the builder's on-site agent representing the builder only. An Estate Vida agent negotiates incentives, reviews the build contract, attends inspections, and protects you through closing — all at no out-of-pocket cost.

What incentives do Tampa Bay builders typically offer?

Common incentives include closing-cost credits ($5,000–$25,000), rate buy-downs (often 2-1 or permanent), included upgrades (appliances, blinds, fencing), and design-center credits. Incentives shift monthly and vary by community. Estate Vida tracks current incentives across our featured communities.

What's the difference between move-in ready and to-be-built?

Move-in ready (spec) homes are complete or nearly complete — you pick from finished inventory and close in 30-60 days. To-be-built homes let you pick the lot, floorplan, and finishes but take 6-12 months from contract to close. Spec homes typically carry stronger incentives because builders want them off the books.

Are new construction homes a good investment in Tampa Bay?

Tampa Bay's population growth (top 5 metro nationally for net migration since 2020) keeps new construction in demand. New builds typically appreciate alongside resale comparables in the same submarket. Warranty coverage, energy efficiency, and lower maintenance costs make ownership cheaper than comparable resale for the first 5-10 years.
