Property Type
New Construction & Pre-Construction
Current-code construction, modern insurance profiles, and staged deposits — with delivery timelines measured in years, not weeks.
Deposit structure
Florida pre-construction typically requires 10% at contract with staged deposits to 40-50% before closing. Deposits are usually escrowed, but terms vary by developer and offering.
Developer diligence
Review the prospectus, the developer's delivery history, the budget's reserve assumptions, and the estimated first-year operating budget — which is frequently optimistic.
Why buyers accept the wait
Current-code construction insures better, carries lower near-term capital risk than a 1980s tower, and often appreciates between contract and delivery in constrained markets.
