Fall is here, and builder incentives are heating up.
Eva sent over this week’s quick move-in list from builder updates compiled on September 11. I pulled out the strongest opportunities for buyers who want a new home without waiting through a long construction timeline.
You’ll find homes across Kissimmee, Winter Garden, St. Cloud, Davenport, Winter Haven, Haines City, Orlando, and more.
If you’re hoping to buy a home in Orlando before the end of the year, this is a great time to look.
Incentives, pricing, and availability can change quickly. Many offers also require approved financing, a contract deadline, and use of the builder’s preferred lender.
WHY QUICK MOVE-IN?
Quick move-in homes are already complete or nearly finished.
That means you may be able to:
- Move in within weeks instead of waiting months
- See the actual home, finishes, and lot
- Take advantage of builder closing cost credits
- Qualify for promotional interest rates or rate buydowns
- Avoid some construction delays
- Lock in today’s price before inventory changes
These homes can be a smart option for first-time buyers, relocating families, investors, and anyone whose lease is ending soon.

Mattamy Homes is advertising 4.99% fixed rates on select quick move-in homes, plus up to 2% of the purchase price toward closing costs.
INCENTIVES TO WATCH
Builder promotions may come in several forms.
Closing cost credits: Help with lender fees, title fees, prepaid taxes, insurance, and other approved costs.
Rate buydowns: Reduce your interest rate for a temporary period or, in some cases, provide a lower fixed rate.
Flex cash: May be used toward closing costs, prepaid expenses, upgrades, or rate assistance. Ask what is allowed.
$99 down offers: These usually have strict requirements. Confirm eligibility, loan type, and all funds due at closing.
A lower rate is not automatically the best deal. Compare the full monthly payment, cash needed at closing, HOA fees, taxes, insurance, and future rate changes.
COMPARE THE WHOLE DEAL
Before signing, ask:
- Which lender must I use?
- What is the exact contract deadline?
- When must the home close?
- Is the rate fixed or adjustable?
- What happens if construction is delayed?
- Can unused incentives be applied to the purchase price?
- Which upgrades are included?
- What will my estimated insurance cost?
- Are there HOA, CDD, or special district fees?
For new construction, I also recommend getting an independent inspection. Brand-new does not mean “no inspection needed.”
As a bonus, my Goosehead Insurance connection, Marlene Pujols, can help buyers compare insurance quotes for new homes. This is especially helpful when you are comparing homes in different communities.
