Why New Construction

New vs resale in The Estates at NOMAR

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 GL Homes home in The Estates at NOMAR against nearby resale options is the best way to see which one fits your budget and timeline.

Buying New Construction

How to buy in The Estates at NOMAR

Buying new construction in The Estates at NOMAR works differently from buying a resale home. Depending on the phase, GL Homes 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 The Estates at NOMAR model works for GL Homes, 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 GL Homes 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.
