Types of Windermere New Construction Homes
Your timeline, budget and desired level of personalization can help determine which type of new home may be the best fit.
To-Be-Built Homes
Select a floor plan, available homesite and eligible structural or design options before construction begins. This option may provide more personalization but typically requires a longer timeline.
Quick Move-In Homes
Consider homes that are already under construction or completed. Many major selections may already be chosen by the builder, potentially creating a faster and more predictable closing timeline.
Inventory Homes
Builders may offer completed inventory homes with promotional pricing, financing incentives or other limited-time opportunities depending on current inventory and market conditions.

Don’t Focus Only on the Incentive
Compare the home’s purchase price, financing terms, lender fees, monthly payment, upgrades, community costs and closing expenses before making a decision.
Use Mortgage CalculatorCosts to Consider When Buying New Construction
The advertised starting price may not represent the final purchase price. Review each component of the home and community before determining your comfortable budget.
Base Price
The starting price may include a standard floor plan, basic finishes and a specified homesite category.
Lot Premium
Larger lots, corner locations, cul-de-sacs, conservation views or waterfront positions may carry additional costs.
Structural Options
Additional bedrooms, extended lanais, garages, lofts, offices, bathrooms and layout changes can increase the price.
Design Upgrades
Flooring, cabinetry, countertops, fixtures, appliances, tile, lighting and other selections can substantially affect the final price.
Community Costs
Review HOA dues, potential CDD assessments, amenity fees, transfer fees and other community obligations.
After-Closing Costs
Budget for window treatments, landscaping, ceiling fans, appliances, fencing, security systems and other items that may not be included.
Windermere New Construction Buying Process
Every builder has its own process, documents and timelines, but these are common stages buyers can expect when purchasing a new construction home.
Buyer Consultation
Define your preferred area, budget, home size, financing, timeline and desired features.
Compare Builders
Review communities, homes, floor plans, incentives, amenities, homesites and ownership costs.
Visit Communities
Tour model homes and available inventory while comparing layouts, locations, lots and community features.
Contract and Deposit
Review the builder contract, deposits, financing deadlines, estimated completion date and closing requirements.
Construction and Inspections
Follow construction progress and coordinate appropriate inspections, orientations and documentation.
Final Walkthrough and Closing
Review outstanding items, confirm financing and insurance, complete the final walkthrough and prepare for closing.
Consider Independent Inspections
A newly built home can still have incomplete work, installation issues, cosmetic defects or systems that require adjustment. Independent inspections can help identify concerns before important construction stages or before closing.
- Pre-drywall inspection when permitted
- Final inspection before closing
- Review of visible systems and components
- Documentation of incomplete items
- Optional warranty-period inspection
Builder Walkthroughs Are Not the Same as an Independent Inspection
A builder orientation generally explains the home’s systems and documents visible outstanding items. An independent inspector evaluates accessible components from the buyer’s perspective.
