If you’re considering buying or building a home, you may be asking yourself: Are new construction homes a good investment? The answer? Absolutely!
At Vazquez Family Builders, we believe that building a home is about more than just construction—it’s about creating a home that fits your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals. Since 2010, we’ve helped Florida families build high-quality, energy-efficient, and modern homes with personalized designs and smart technology.
Let’s break down some key questions you should consider when exploring new construction homes.
Common Questions About New Construction Homes
Are New Construction Home Prices Negotiable?
Pricing for new construction homes is based on five key factors:
✔ Material Costs – The price of lumber, concrete, and other materials.
✔ Labor Costs – Skilled workers and contractors.
✔ Administrative Costs – Permits, inspections, and builder overhead.
✔ Homesite Costs – Lot preparation, land grading, and infrastructure.
✔ Reasonable Builder Profit – Ensuring long-term sustainability for the builder.
We’ve created a detailed Pricing Guide that explains how these costs impact new home pricing and what factors may be negotiable.

How Long Does It Take to Build a New Home?
Building a home from the ground up is an exciting process, but it does require time. On average, our homes take 6-9 months to complete after contract signing.
However, build time can vary based on:
✔ Weather conditions (Florida’s rainy season may impact timelines).
✔ Permit approval timelines in different counties.
✔ Customization requests that require additional planning or materials.

New Construction Homes vs. Existing Homes
What Are the Benefits of Buying a New Construction Home?
When comparing a new home vs. an existing home, here’s why new construction is often the best choice:
✅ Personalization – Customize your layout, finishes, and features.

A new home built today is significantly more energy-efficient than homes built even 10 years ago.
🔹 Low-E Windows – Reduce heat and UV rays while keeping cooling costs low.

Comparing Custom Home Builders
Not all builders offer the same level of quality, customization, or service. Before choosing a builder, ask:
✔ What’s included in the base price?
✔ Do they offer flexible floor plans and customization?
✔ What’s their warranty policy?
✔ Do they build in your preferred location?

Buying vs. Renting: Is Now the Right Time?
Many homebuyers wonder: Should I buy or rent?
Here’s why homeownership is a smart move:
✔ Build Equity – Instead of paying rent, you’re investing in your future.
✔ Stability – Fixed mortgage payments vs. rising rent costs.
✔ Personalization – Unlike rentals, you can customize and renovate freely.
✔ Tax Benefits – Homeownership comes with potential tax deductions.
