New construction homes Palm Beach County

Buying new means starting with a clean slate — modern layouts, energy-efficient systems, builder
warranties, and none of the deferred maintenance that comes with an older resale. But new construction is
its own kind of negotiation, with its own pitfalls, and it pays to have someone in your corner who isn’t on the
builder’s payroll.
The Moosa Collective works with buyers across the county’s new-build market and helps you understand
what you’re actually getting into — before you sign a builder contract written entirely in their favor.

Why Buyers Choose New Construction

  • Lower near-term maintenance — new systems, new roof, new everything, typically backed by a builder warranty
  • Modern floor plans — open layouts, larger primary suites, and configurations resale inventory often can’t match
  • Energy efficiency — newer insulation, windows, and HVAC systems can mean noticeably lower utility bills
  • Customization — depending on how early you buy into a phase, you may be able to select finishes, layouts, and upgrades
  • Builder incentives — closing cost credits, rate buydowns, or design center credits are common, especially late in a phase

What's Different About Buying New

New construction homes in Palm Beach County are usually sold directly through the builder’s on-site sales team rather than a traditional MLS listing, which changes how negotiation works. A few things buyers are
often surprised by:

  • The contract favors the builder. Builder contracts are standardized and rarely negotiated line by line the way a resale contract is — having your own agent review it before you sign matters more here, not less.
  • Pricing moves by phase, not by market. Builders release homes in phases and raise prices as each phase sells out, so the base price you see today may not be the price by the time your home is finished.
  • Design center costs add up fast. Upgraded flooring, cabinetry, and appliances are rarely included in the advertised base price — it’s common for buyers to spend well into six figures on options.
  • The builder, not you, usually pays your agent’s commission. Many buyers don’t realize this and walk into a builder’s sales office unrepresented, negotiating solo against a team that does this full time.

Questions to Ask Before You Buy New

  • What does the base price include, and what counts as an upgrade? Get this in writing, not just verbally from a sales rep.
  • What happens if the home isn’t finished by the anticipated deadline? Delays are common — know your rights and any penalty clauses.
  • Who’s inspecting the home, and can you bring your own inspector? Builders often prefer their own process, but you’re entitled to an independent one.
  • What does the builder’s warranty cover, and for how long? Structural, mechanical, and cosmetic coverage periods usually differ.
  • Are HOA and CDD fees finalized or still estimated? New communities sometimes quote fees that rise once the community is fully built out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — and it typically costs you nothing extra, since the builder pays the buyer's agent commission in most cases. Without your own agent, you're negotiating alone against the builder's sales team.

Rarely. Upgrades, lot premiums, and design center selections are usually added on top of the advertised base price.

It varies by builder and community, but timelines commonly run from several months to over a year, depending on permitting and supply.

Builders are typically less flexible on price than resale sellers, but incentives like closing cost credits, upgrade credits, or rate buydowns are frequently negotiable — especially toward the end of a phase.

Many are, particularly in Boynton Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, and Jupiter, though amenities and HOA structures vary by community.
