Why You Should Choose New Construction Waterfront Condos

January 8 2020

Prospective homeowners have many things to consider when they first begin their path to finding their ideal home.  If you have already decided that condo living fits your lifestyle, one of the big questions you are probably facing right now is whether or not to invest in a new condo or purchase an existing residence within your chosen community. 

Buying a new construction home or buying a resale property each has its own set of pros and cons.  Will the new condo come with a higher price tag?  Are there going to be costly repairs in an existing condo? Which option will make it easier for the property to increase in value?  There are many options from which to choose on either side of the home buying spectrum, but these are the reasons we think you’ll love living in one of our new construction waterfront condos.

The Layout

As with any type of home, trends in floor plan layouts will change over time.  Tour some existing condominiums and, depending on the age of the home, you may notice that the kitchen is smaller than you may prefer and that it does not blend with the living area.  Current trends in floor plan design offer a more open space concept with large areas that encourage interaction between family members or are simply ideal for entertaining.

The Design

Once you find the layout you prefer, the other half of making a condo your home is the design aspects involved.  Purchasing a new home will allow you to choose finishings, flooring, appliances, and much more, so that your new luxury condo reflects your individual personality and style before you even move in.  As technological advancements are made in smart homes, you’ll be happy you chose new as your home will also come equipped with the latest technology for added convenience.  If you purchase an older condo, chances are it may need some renovations or design changes to modernize it, and that just means more money out of your pocket.  

The Lifestyle

The location and amenities of your condominium are also something to consider as they will need to align with your lifestyle.  Of course, these aspects may not seem important when choosing between a new condo or a resale condo, but that is not always the case.  For example, Grandview at Bay Beach is a unique condominium on Fort Myers Beach as it leads the pack in accommodating your luxury living lifestyle and is the only high-end condominium offering new waterfront condos on Fort Myers Beach.  Your new high-rise lifestyle will come with luxury amenities like an expansive club room with a fitness center and yoga studio, a resort-style pool and spa, tennis courts, and 1.2 miles of walking/jogging paths in the adjacent, expansive, private open space, among other amenities like easy access to beaches, high-end shopping, casual and fine dining, and entertainment.  If you want these types of amenities that coincide with your lifestyle, then purchasing a new condo is the way to go.

Maintenance and Repairs

Condominiums are a unique type of residence as they are a combination of a single-family home and an apartment complex.  Residents of condominiums own their homes individually, but have joint-ownership of the building as a whole.  For this reason, condo associations are created to maintain the property, keep it clean, and keep the residents happy.  You won't be able to get out of paying your homeowners dues - and with not having to mow a lawn or make certain repairs, most residents are happy to pay them - but you may be able to pay lower fees when purchasing a new condo since older condominiums need more repairs and upkeep than a brand new building.  Upon completion, you’ll also have peace of mind knowing that nothing will break down or need to get replaced because everything is brand new.  In the rare instances where something does happen, you can breathe easy knowing your home is still under warranty.
