One of the best bargains you can get when it comes to residential construction Florida is new construction. In some cases, the property still needs construction to be completed. In others, the construction has been completed but the home has never been occupied. There was a great deal of home flipping going on during the boom in Florida properties. Investors who purchased new construction in the hopes of selling it to a buyer at closing often were stuck with the property. There are entire subdivisions in Florida where a great percentage of the homes have never been occupied. Buyers can get a brand new home in Florida for a fraction of what they would have paid a couple of years ago. This is ideal for those who are seeking a place to live.
