Is housing one of the best money-making opportunities available today? I know, how could that be possible with the Pandemic continuing to gain steam? Even with the Pandemic, I am reading more and more positive reports from experts. Here are some of the facts that keep reappearing.

You would not know it by driving through much of Lakewood Ranch, but the weakest link in the housing market is new construction according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Due to the Pandemic, there are still many homebuilders that are being conservative by staying on the sidelines.
New Construction Thoughts
Purchasing a newly constructed home is more complicated than buying an existing home. Accordingly, it is often more important to hire a real estate agent with a new home purchase than it is with an existing home. That said, make sure that any agent you hire has experience with new construction, as builder contracts and the building process are different from what most real estate agents normally deal with.
After going through several new communities in development, they often tend to blend together for most buyers. However, this one stands out for those feeling the urge to stretch out. The lots are all at least one acre, which is refreshingly different than what we are typically seeing with new construction.
I have been through several new developments lately, and this one really caught my eye. As Lakewood Ranch is heading south into Sarasota County, it is presenting new communities for us to discover. Entering this community, I immediately saw why it is special. You get immediate views of the two main lakes, with over 144 acres of water. The views from your lanai will be simply amazing.
