What exactly do we mean by the newest homes for sale in Tampa Florida? Since not everyone ends up buying new construction we have developed a list of homes that are currently available and less than 5 years old. Newer homes in many ways are better for most buyers and there are plenty in the Tampa FL real estate market.
And there you have it. The number one reason to purchase one of the newest homes on the market instead of new construction. You may be able to find one of these in the preferred area you are looking for. Land to build on is rare in this city. Your preferred school, or community is waiting.
The building condes in Florida for residential properties were significantly revised back in 2002. They were implemented by many of the builders that year but actually went into force in 2003. Since that time the homes are in fact built stronger.
The windows on older homes quite frankly stink. You will see many homes with single pane windows allowing the suns heat to fill the home. This is not an inexpensive or easy upgrade to fix Newer homes do not have this issue and that is not even mentioning the storm danger presented by the older windows.
Roof age and often the age of a water heater can keep you from getting insurance on the home you want. I have seen insurance companies deny coverage if the water heater is over 10 years old. Roofs that have outlived their life can be not only expensive but a deal killer. None of these issues will affect your purchasing of one of the newer homes for sale in Tampa FL.
