I Want New Construction
Go ahead. Fall in love with the model home. Just don't stop asking questions.
New construction can mean modern floor plans, newer systems, community amenities and the excitement of choosing something new.
But the model home is designed to make an impression. Smart Moves helps you look beyond the furniture.

Nina's 7 Things to Ask Before Falling in Love
What is actually included in the advertised/base price?
Model homes may contain options and upgrades that are not part of the base home.
Are there lot premiums?
Location within the development can affect the final cost.
What ongoing community costs should I understand?
Ask about HOA fees and any applicable district assessments or other recurring costs.
What is still going to be built around me?
Today's view may not be tomorrow's view.
What current builder incentives exist?
Incentives can change, and terms matter.
What warranties are included?
Understand what is covered, by whom and for how long.
Who is looking out for my interests?
Understand who each person in the transaction represents before making decisions.
A Smart Moves Focus Area
Wellen Park
Wellen Park is one of the most active new-construction areas in Sarasota County, with multiple communities and a growing downtown district.
People are drawn to it for its newer homes, planned amenities, and the energy of a community still taking shape. It's worth understanding what kinds of lifestyles exist there — and what questions to ask before committing.
Smart Moves covers Wellen Park editorially. We don't represent any builder or development.
Still Not Sure? That's Normal.
You don't need to know the neighborhood yet. Start with how you want to live.
