My name is Barrett Henry, and I'm a licensed Broker Associate with REMAX Collective. Call me at (813) 733-7907 and I'll walk you through every option.
New Construction in Sarasota, Florida
New construction in Sarasota means a brand-new home with modern floor plans, energy-efficient systems, and a builder warranty that typically covers structural components for 10 years, major systems for 2 years, and workmanship for 1 year. Several national and regional builders are active in Sarasota County, offering everything from starter homes in the low $300s to fully customized estates.
One important cost to understand is the CDD (Community Development District) fee. Many new communities in Florida use CDDs to fund infrastructure — roads, utilities, amenity centers — and those fees appear as a separate line item on your tax bill, often $1,500 to $4,000 per year. I help you compare the total cost of ownership, including CDD, HOA, and property taxes, so there are no surprises. And here is something most buyers do not know: the builder's sales agent represents the builder, not you. Having your own Broker Associate costs you nothing and ensures someone is reviewing contracts, upgrades, and inspection timelines on your behalf.
Use the mortgage calculator to estimate payments on new builds, or check out FHA loan and conventional financing options. Visit the Sarasota city guide for a full overview of the area. Call (813) 733-7907 and I will walk you through every active new-construction community in Sarasota.
