Why Buying New in Southwest Florida Makes Sense & Why Ave Maria is the Best Choice
Southwest Florida isn’t just a vacation destination; it’s one of the fastest-growing regions for people looking to relocate. Sun year-round, endless outdoor recreation and a booming economy make it the perfect place to settle.
But when you’re making the move, one question always comes up… What are advantages to buying a new construction home?
There are several advantages in buying a new construction home. New construction homes come with a builder warranty, modern floorplans, are energy efficient and have hurricane safety features older homes may not include. New construction homes also offer the advantage of relocating to an amenity rich community like Ave Maria.
New homes in Ave Maria are designed for today’s lifestyle with open-concept floorplans, spacious kitchens, outdoor living areas, and modern technology. “Today’s buyers want spaces that bring people together. Kitchens that flow into living rooms, lanais that feel like an extension of the home,” said Michael Egan, Lead Sales Manager for Pulte Homes. “When you buy new, you get that lifestyle built in from day one.”
Unlike older homes that may need a new roof, air conditioning and heating, or plumbing repairs, new homes come with builder warranties. “You can focus on enjoying your new home instead of worrying about surprise expenses,” noted Matt Bell, Lennar New Home Sales Consultant. “New residential constructions are built to current codes and standards, making it a long-term investment which not only increases the value of the home but also provides confidence that your investment is secure.”
So, why is Ave Maria an advantageous choice?
While there are plenty of communities across SWFL, Ave Maria offers something very few have and that is a true hometown feel combined with modern amenities. Nestled just east of Naples, offering a small-town feel while still being near the bustling coastal cities and beaches, Ave Maria is a top-selling master plan community and Collier County’s Community of the Year, 10-years running., Ave Maria is a self-sustaining community with shops, dining, medical and services, schools, parks and recreation that are all within reach, where residents rarely need to leave because of the conveniences just outside their front doors.
“Prospective homeowners are impressed by the convenience,” shared Mark Yant, sales consultant for Pulte Homes Avalon Park neighborhood, situated just north of the Town Center. “Where else can you buy a new home and immediately be part of a community with restaurants, golf, schools, and even festivals just minutes away?”
Ave Maria offers something for everyone from pickleball and golf for sports lovers, a water park for families, to 100 miles of walking and biking paths and community parks, for those who love the outdoors. This Big Kind of Small Town is a place where kids ride their bikes to school, families gather for town events and enjoy connecting with one another.
From single– and multi-family homes starting from the Mid $200s to $800s, Ave Maria has options for every stage of life. “Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving up to accommodate a growing family, or downsizing into a lifestyle community, there’s truly something for everyone,” said Delmaris Manzanillo, New Sales Consultant with CC Homes and resident of Ave Maria’s Maple Ridge neighborhood. “Ave Maria isn’t just where you buy a house. It’s where you build your life.”
