Why New Construction
New vs resale in Heron Bay
New construction appeals to buyers for a few clear reasons. Everything is new, from the roof and appliances to the wiring and plumbing, so early maintenance costs are low, and current codes for energy efficiency and, in Florida, hurricane resistance are built in from the start. Floor plans are modern, with the open layouts, larger kitchens, and flexible rooms that many older homes lack, and a builder warranty backs the home through its first years. The tradeoffs are worth knowing too. A new community is often still under development, so expect nearby construction for a while, landscaping needs time to mature, and many new Florida communities carry a CDD assessment on the tax bill that repays the infrastructure bonds, on top of any HOA dues. Comparing a DR Horton home in Heron Bay against nearby resale options is the best way to see which one fits your budget and timeline.
Buying New Construction
How to buy in Heron Bay
Buying new construction in Heron Bay works differently from buying a resale home. Depending on the phase, DR Horton may offer quick move-in homes that are already built or nearly complete, along with to-be-built homesites where you choose the floor plan and finishes. A to-be-built home usually takes several months to about a year to complete. Much of the personalization happens at the design center, where you select structural options and finishes. Upgrades add up quickly, so it helps to set a budget before you start and to know which choices tend to hold resale value and which do not. New homes still deserve inspections. An independent inspection during construction and again before closing catches issues while the builder is still responsible, and most homes carry a builder warranty, commonly one year on workmanship, two on systems, and ten on the structure. Builders often extend their strongest incentives through a preferred lender or on quick move-in inventory near the end of a quarter, so timing and financing are worth discussing before you commit.
Buyer Representation
Use your own agent, at no cost
The sales representative at the Heron Bay model works for DR Horton, not for you. Bringing your own agent costs you nothing on a new-construction purchase, because the builder pays the buyer-side commission from a marketing budget already priced into the home. In most cases your agent needs to be with you or named on your first visit for that to apply, so it pays to line up representation before you tour. An agent who knows DR Horton can compare the community to nearby resale and new-construction options, review a builder contract that is written to favor the builder, and press for upgrades, closing-cost help, or a rate buydown that a walk-in buyer might never think to ask for.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How many homes are for sale in Heron Bay?
- There are 15 active listings for sale in Heron Bay right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. The most expensive listing asks about 6 times the least expensive, so budgets vary widely within Heron Bay.

- What is the median home price in Heron Bay?
- The median list price in Heron Bay is $1,150,000, or roughly $403 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Heron Bay homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $510,000 to $2,995,000. The median sits near the middle of that range, so Heron Bay inventory is spread fairly evenly rather than bunched at one end.

- What price range do homes in Heron Bay cover?
- Homes for sale in Heron Bay currently range from about $510,000 at the entry level to $2,995,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects the local mix, from smaller condos and townhomes up to larger single-family and luxury homes, with the median list price around $1,150,000. That is a wide spread, so Heron Bay genuinely holds homes at very different budgets rather than one price point. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the Heron Bay listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Heron Bay?
- Homes in Heron Bay are averaging 57 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a brisk pace, close to what a balanced South Florida market looks like, so a sharply priced home rarely lingers.

- Are homes in Heron Bay move-in ready or to-be-built?
- It depends on the phase. DR Horton often has a mix of quick move-in homes that are already built and to-be-built homesites where you choose the plan and finishes. Ask us what inventory and homesites are available in Heron Bay right now.

- Do new homes in Heron Bay come with a warranty?
- Almost always. New homes typically carry a builder warranty, commonly one year on workmanship, two years on major systems, and ten years on the structure. Confirm the exact coverage DR Horton offers before closing.
- Does Heron Bay have a CDD fee?
