Here's one thing I learned about the new construction homes near the turnpike. I've been searching for months for an existing or new spec home and just finally gave up searching for now.
Starting last year with St. Catherine, then Citrus Grove, Cason Hammock, Hawkins and now St.John's, TV would release several homes a day for sale. If you are actively working with a sales rep you get the list sent to you. If you're interested in buying one on the list, the rep has to place a 3-hour hold on it for you. If your rep is the first one to "hold" the listing you pay a deposit and close in 30 days. Most sell the same day they are released. Then, just DAYS after these listings go "pending" I would see a new post in TV rental FB group with "Be the first to rent this brand new home! Available in April."
Looks like a good majority are being bought up by investors for rentals.
