Happy Monday! I am so excited to share my latest Newsletter with you. It is July 27, 2026, and the Orlando real estate market is buzzing with some of the most incredible opportunities I have seen all year. If you have been waiting for the right moment to jump into a brand-new home without the long wait of a standard build, your timing is perfect.
Right now, builders are incredibly motivated to move their standing inventory. We are seeing a "perfect storm" for buyers, inventory is at a healthy level, and builders are offering massive incentives to help you get into a home before the end of the summer. Whether you are a first-time buyer looking for down payment assistance or a growing family needing more space in a master-planned community, this roundup is for you!
TAYLOR MORRISON DEALS
If you want the biggest bang for your buck, Taylor Morrison is leading the pack this week. They are offering some truly jaw-dropping price cuts, up to $100,000 on select homes! Plus, if you use their preferred lender, you could snag up to $15,000 toward your closing costs.
In Winter Garden, specifically at Baldwin at Harvest at Ovation, we are seeing two incredible options. One is listed at $635,699, which reflects a massive $80,000 savings. The other is $653,118, saving you about $76,000. Winter Garden continues to be one of the most sought-after areas in Central Florida, so these won't last long.
If Kissimmee is more your speed, check out Westview. They have multiple Kingfisher, Hummingbird, and Cardinal floor plans starting around $356,000. Some of these homes have savings of up to $30,000.
For those looking in St. Cloud, the Java model at The Waters at Center Lake Ranch is a standout. It is currently listed at $561,849, which is a staggering $136,000 off the original price! This is a massive opportunity to get into a premium home for much less than your neighbors paid.
Don't forget Groveland and Haines City. In Groveland’s Waterstone community, you can find options from $342,000 to $410,000 with savings up to $46,000. In Haines City, Marion Creek has the Holly for $306,664 and the Sherwood for $378,064, both with $40,000 in savings!
PULTE HOMES SAVINGS
Pulte Homes is also stepping up in a big way this July. They are currently offering up to $25,000 toward closing costs on select lots. This is a game-changer because it allows you to keep more cash in your pocket or use that money to buy down your interest rate even further.
Here are the Pulte properties on my radar this week:
- Kissimmee (Tohoqua): Priced at $396,490 and ready for a July 2026 move-in. You could be in your new home by next month!
- Lake Nona (The Cove at Nona Sound): This one is $426,990 and will be ready in September 2026. Lake Nona is a tech and medical hub, making this a great long-term investment.
- EverBe: I have multiple options here ranging from $564,990 to $628,890, with completions between August and September.
- The Grow: This unique community has a home ready in September for $495,820.
- Sanford (Skylar Crest): For a great price point, Skylar Crest has a home for $339,390 ready this August.
LENNAR & MARONDA FINDS
If you are looking for affordability without sacrificing quality, Lennar and Maronda Homes have some fantastic entry points this week.
In Davenport, Lennar has a home in Reedy Isle for $319,490. It is scheduled to be ready in August 2026. Davenport is a fantastic location for anyone working near the attractions or looking for a short drive to both Orlando and Tampa.
Over in Lake Deer Estates, Maronda Homes is offering a property for $304,990, also ready in August. This is a perfect option for those who want a brand-new home under the $310k mark, a rare find in today's market!
WHY CHOOSE QUICK MOVE-IN?
You might be wondering, "Nicole, why should I look at quick move-ins instead of building from scratch?" There are three big reasons:
- Massive Incentives: Builders like Taylor Morrison and Pulte want these homes off their books. They offer deeper discounts and higher closing cost credits on "spec" homes than they do on "to-be-built" orders.
- Predictability: You can see the actual home, walk the floor plan, and know exactly what your view looks like. There’s no guessing game.
- Speed: Most of these homes are ready in 30 to 60 days. If you are currently renting or have already sold your home, this is the fastest way to get settled.
WHAT’S YOUR BUDGET?
Navigating these deals can be overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone! Whether you are interested in the $136k savings in St. Cloud or the $25k closing cost help from Pulte, I am here to help you negotiate the best possible deal.
