M/I Homes New Homes & Communities

M/I Homes is a national new-home builder with communities throughout Florida, including opportunities across Tampa Bay and the Sarasota-Manatee region.

For Home Zone Florida buyers, M/I Homes is particularly relevant in markets such as Riverview, Bradenton, Sarasota, Venice and surrounding Gulf Coast communities.

Home Zone Florida can help buyers compare M/I Homes communities, quick move-in inventory, floor plans, incentives and total ownership costs with other new-construction options throughout the region.

M/I Homes in Our Market

M/I Homes currently offers new-construction opportunities throughout several areas served by Home Zone Florida.

Relevant markets may include:

• Riverview and the greater Tampa Bay area
• Bradenton and Manatee County
• Sarasota
• Venice and Nokomis
• Parrish and Palmetto
• Other Sarasota-Manatee communities

Community availability changes as neighborhoods open, enter new phases and sell out.

M/I Homes Property Options

Depending on the community, buyers may find:

• Single-family homes
• Townhomes
• Villas
• Quick move-in homes
• Build-to-order opportunities
• Gated communities
• Maintenance-included options
• Larger move-up homes
• Planned communities with shared amenities

Floor plans, included features and community fees vary by location.

Quick Move-In Homes

M/I Homes maintains a significant selection of quick move-in and near-completion homes throughout the Sarasota-Manatee region.

These homes can be useful for buyers who want new construction without waiting through an entire building process.

When comparing quick move-in homes, consider:

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

Inventory and incentives can change frequently.

Personalization & Design Options

Depending on the community and floor plan, M/I Homes buyers may have opportunities to personalize certain aspects of their home.

M/I offers design selections that can vary from individualized choices to preselected packages designed to simplify the building process.

Before making selections, buyers should understand:

• What is included in the base price
• Which features are considered upgrades
• Design-center costs
• Structural-option costs
• Lot premiums
• Upgrade financing
• How improvements may affect future resale value

A model home often includes upgrades that are not part of the standard base price.

Warranty & Construction

M/I Homes promotes a transferable structural warranty as part of its new-home program.

Buyers should review the actual warranty documents for the specific home and community before purchasing.

Even with a newly built home and builder warranty, independent inspections may still be worth considering.

Depending on the construction stage, buyers may consider:

• Pre-drywall inspection
• Final inspection
• Pre-closing walk-through
• Warranty-period inspection

Builder Financing & Incentives

M/I Homes may offer financing programs and incentives through affiliated or preferred financing options on selected homes.

Potential incentives may include:

• Interest-rate programs
• Closing-cost assistance
• Price reductions
• Quick move-in incentives
• Design or upgrade incentives

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

Important factors include purchase price, loan terms, fees, closing costs, HOA expenses, taxes, insurance and long-term monthly payment.
