What about new construction?

Okeechobee is growing, with new developments from different builders and more on the way. There are options for many plans: new single family homes, townhouses, and apartments. A new home often lets you choose your finishes, and it comes with new systems and a builder warranty.

My advice: call me before you visit a sales office. Many builders ask that your Realtor come with you on the first visit, and I can help you compare communities, prices, and contracts.

How do I get ready?

  1. Talk with a lender and know your budget.
  2. Know what homes sold for, not only what they ask.
  3. Be ready to move fast: homes that sold took a median of 16 days.
  4. Make your offer with the numbers in hand.
