Why you need your own agent for new construction
Builder contracts are not the same as resale contracts. The builder's sales agent works for the builder, not for you. They are trained to sell upgrades and protect the builder's margins. Having your own Valrico REALTOR® at the table protects your interests on price, upgrades, timeline, and warranty items. This representation costs you nothing, the builder pays the buyer's agent commission.
CDD fees: the hidden cost of new construction
Many new construction communities in Florida add Community Development District (CDD) fees on top of HOA fees and property taxes. CDD fees typically run $150-$300 per month and pay for infrastructure (roads, drainage, amenities) that the developer built. Unlike HOA fees, CDD assessments are tax-deductible but cannot be waived. Before signing a new construction contract, understand the total monthly cost: mortgage + taxes + insurance + HOA + CDD. Barrett Henry, REALTOR® can walk you through the full cost picture.

Which upgrades add resale value?
Not all builder upgrades are created equal. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades (countertops, cabinetry, fixtures) tend to hold their value. Flooring upgrades from carpet to tile or LVP pay off. Structural upgrades like additional bedrooms, extended garages, and covered lanais add real square footage value. Cosmetic upgrades like premium paint colors, decorative lighting, and landscaping packages rarely return their cost at resale. Barrett has worked with multiple national and regional builders in Valrico and knows which upgrades matter. Compare new construction to existing resale homes, you may find more value in an established neighborhood like Bloomingdale or Buckhorn. Check current home values to understand how new construction pricing compares to resale. First-time buyers should understand total monthly costs before committing to new construction with CDD fees.
New construction vs. resale in Valrico
New construction appeals to buyers who want modern floor plans, energy efficiency, builder warranties, and no prior owner history. Resale homes in established neighborhoods like Bloomingdale often offer larger lots, mature landscaping, and lower total monthly costs (no CDD fees). Many resale homes in Valrico have been updated with the same features buyers seek in new construction. Read the 2026 market report for current pricing comparisons.
