D.R. Horton New Homes & Communities

D.R. Horton is one of the largest homebuilders in the United States and has a substantial new-construction presence throughout Florida’s Gulf Coast.

For Home Zone Florida buyers, D.R. Horton is especially relevant because its communities extend across much of our service area, including Pinellas County, Tampa Bay, Bradenton and Manatee County, Sarasota and Venice.

Home Zone Florida can help buyers compare D.R. Horton communities, quick move-in homes, floor plans, builder incentives and total ownership costs with other new-construction and resale opportunities throughout the region.

Relevant areas include:

Community availability changes frequently as neighborhoods open, inventory sells and communities enter their final phases.

Pinellas County New Construction

D.R. Horton is particularly noteworthy because new-construction opportunities are generally more limited in Pinellas County than in many parts of Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota counties.

Current D.R. Horton opportunities in Pinellas County include communities and homes in areas such as Palm Harbor and Pinellas Park.

Harbor Landing offers new-construction townhomes in Palm Harbor with access to Clearwater, Dunedin, Tarpon Springs and other northern Pinellas County destinations.

D.R. Horton Home Collections

D.R. Horton operates several home collections and product lines designed for different buyers and price points.

Depending on the community, buyers may encounter D.R. Horton or Express Series homes.

The exact specifications, included features and available options vary by neighborhood, so buyers should compare individual homes rather than assuming every D.R. Horton community offers the same product.

Quick Move-In Homes

One of D.R. Horton’s strengths is its large inventory of homes that are already under construction or completed.

Quick move-in homes can be attractive to buyers who want new construction without waiting through an entire building process.

When comparing quick move-in inventory, consider:

• Final purchase price
• Included upgrades
• Homesite location
• Completion date
• HOA and community fees
• Builder incentives
• Financing incentives
• Property taxes
• Insurance
• Comparable resale homes nearby

Inventory and incentives can change frequently.

Smart Home Features

Many D.R. Horton homes include the builder’s Home is Connected® smart-home technology package.

Available features can vary by home and community but may include connected thermostats, doorbell cameras, smart switches and other home-automation technology.

Buyers should verify exactly which features are included with the specific home they are considering.

Builder Financing & Incentives

D.R. Horton may periodically offer financing programs, closing-cost assistance, price reductions or other incentives on selected homes.

Some incentives may be associated with the use of an affiliated or preferred lender.

Buyers should compare the entire financial package rather than focusing solely on an advertised interest rate or incentive.

Important considerations include:

• Purchase price
• Mortgage rate
• Loan fees
• Closing costs
• HOA fees
• Property taxes
• Insurance
• Total monthly payment

Work With Home Zone Florida Before Visiting

D.R. Horton’s real estate agent and broker-participation procedures can vary by division and community.

Published D.R. Horton policies in some markets require a buyer’s real estate agent to register the buyer and accompany the buyer on the first visit in order to qualify for broker participation.

Because these requirements can change and may differ locally, contact Ryan Kessler before:

• Registering online
• Requesting information
• Scheduling a tour
• Visiting a model home
• Visiting a D.R. Horton sales center
• Taking a self-guided tour

Getting Home Zone Florida involved before your first builder interaction helps preserve the opportunity for your own REALTOR® to represent you throughout the purchase.
