Sarasota, Venice, and Lakewood Ranch New Homes

I know its tempting to drive yourself around looking for new homes and going directly to the builder on your own. Think about this:  the percentage of home buyers using a Realtor to buy a resale home has increased to over 90% in the last decade.  FSBO (for sale by owner) is dwindling. Why?  The process and the choices are more complicated, and frankly, I think buyers are better informed and want to work with a Realtor they can trust to help them make the best decision for their needs. The same thought process should apply to the purchase of a new home.  The builder's contracts are much longer than a Florida resale contract, and it favors the builders, not you as a buyer. On top of that, you have 50 choices for major new home communities between Lakewood Ranch, Sarasota, and Venice and The West Villages.  As your new home specialist, I'm in these communities on a regular basis keeping up to speed on the latest news and incentives.

The courtyard areas are perfect for a private pool, while some owners have opted for a grassy spot for their pets.  Split bedroom, open concept floor plans and high ceilings make Tra Ponti Villaggio a nice choice for those who want more of an urban living experience.

I recently toured a new home community in Venice, FL called Grand Oaks. Grand Oaks is a small gated and walled community of just 55 homes, located on Venice Avenue west of Jacaranda Blvd.  Home prices start at just under $300,000. A brand new Publix is within walking distance, and it's just 3 miles to downtown Venice attractions. Grand Oaks has no CDD fee, with monthly homeowner association dues of just $199 per month and a very nice community pool. This is a good combination of lower taxes and fees for a new home community.
