New Construction Home Prices Are Falling Across Florida — Especially in These Markets

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to buy a new construction home in Saint Cloud, Kissimmee, Orlando, Tampa, Saint Augustine, or Jacksonville, that time may be now. With high inventory and lower-than-expected buyer activity, builders are making aggressive moves — cutting prices by as much as $30,000 and offering limited-time incentives to attract qualified buyers.

Why Builders Are Offering Better Deals in 2025

National builders, including KB Home, are adjusting to a slower-than-usual housing market in Florida. During their Q1 2025 earnings call, executives identified Florida — especially Jacksonville — as one of the softest markets in the country right now.

In response, builders are:

• Reducing base prices community-by-community

• Offering mortgage rate buydowns to lower monthly payments

• Covering closing costs or offering “flex cash” for upgrades

It’s not just a statewide trend — it’s highly localized. If you’re shopping for a new home in any of the areas we serve, you’ll find real opportunities not seen in the last few years.

A Closer Look at Your Market

Saint Cloud & Kissimmee

These high-demand corridors are seeing an influx of inventory as new communities open their doors. Builders are more open to negotiation and custom incentives than before. If you're shopping here, you’ll find competitive pricing and limited-time offers to help you get in with lower upfront costs.

Orlando

Orlando’s inventory has surged by more than 45% since last year. Homes are sitting longer, and almost 1 in 4 listings have seen price cuts. This gives you more room to compare and make offers below asking — even on new construction.

Tampa

Tampa has one of the highest percentages of homes with price reductions in Florida, with nearly 29% of all listings dropping in March. Pending sales have slowed by nearly 12%, meaning builders are eager to strike deals with serious buyers.

Saint Augustine

While smaller than the others, Saint Augustine’s builders are reacting quickly. Projects that would have sold in a weekend last year now require marketing, incentives, and aggressive pricing to move. Expect price drops and added value in popular neighborhoods.

Jacksonville

Jacksonville leads the state in price cuts and inventory. Some builders are reducing home prices by more than $30,000 to move inventory. Over 27% of all homes had price drops in March, and homes are taking longer to sell. That means negotiation power is firmly in your hands.

What Buyers Should Do Now

If you’re a buyer — especially a first-time buyer or relocating to Florida — this moment is a rare opportunity to:

• Lock in lower prices before demand picks back up

• Take advantage of builder-paid closing costs or interest rate buydowns

• Compare communities and make offers on homes that fit your lifestyle and budget
