Existing homeowners are listing their homes for sale due to the healthy profits they can make in this seller&#8217;s market.&nbsp;Stiff competition and higher prices are causing homebuyers to look at other options.&nbsp;So, have you considered building a new home? Some people overlook this this alternative, assuming that building a home must be too expensive.&nbsp;But, with existing home prices through the roof, and then renovating costs to consider, buyers find that going the custom new home construction route isn\u2019t that much different. Especially if you want to live in a growing population center like Florida, building just makes sense. Two of the top ten cities for new home construction are in Florida\u2014here&#8217;s what you should know if you plan to live there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jacksonville and Orlando: Hotbeds of New Home Construction in Florida<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming in at #3 and #8 for building in the entire country, Jacksonville and Orlando offer a unique opportunity for builders and aspiring homeowners alike. Builders can enjoy working throughout the year without any slowdown in the winter months thanks to the sunny weather.&nbsp;There&#8217;s also tons of growth opportunity for average families with &#8220;middle housing&#8221; right now. The demographics in both cities run the gamut from luxury gated communities to inexpensive public housing apartments.&nbsp;What&#8217;s missing? Things like single-family homes, duplexes, cottages, and bungalows. Once common, these types of homes are coming back to provide average citizens with beautiful yet reasonably-priced housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, which would you prefer? When you choose new home construction over buying an existing house, you get to decide what to build and live in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Single-Family House Plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A single-family house plan can be any size, but they tend to be over 1,800 square feet these days.&nbsp;We can only show a couple examples here, but rest assured <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The House Designers<\/a> has thousands available to suit any need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/EEA\/bulk\/9324\/3638-FRONT.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:600px\" width=\"600\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/pinetree-9324\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Plan 9324<\/a> \u2013 An Affordable Ranch House Plan with 3 Bedrooms and a Home Office<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/images\/plans\/AMD\/bulk\/6574\/1184-front-rendering.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:600px\" width=\"600\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/6574\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">House Plan 6574<\/a> \u2013 An Adorable 3-Bedroom Ranch Floor Plan Under 2,000 Square Feet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cottage House Plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for something cute and neat? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/cottage-house-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cottage house plans<\/a> typically have smaller, more compact footprints.&nbsp;You&#8217;ll see from our examples that cottage house plans can have different looks, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1168d-front-rendering.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[14026]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1168d-front-rendering.jpg\" alt=\"a small country cottage perfect for new construction\" class=\"wp-image-14030\" style=\"width:600px;height:450px\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1168d-front-rendering.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1168d-front-rendering-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1168d-front-rendering-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/grandview-8765\/\">THD-8765<\/a> \u2013 A 1,552-Square-Foot Country Cottage with 3 Bedrooms and 2 Baths<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/A1005-Front-Rendering-Brown.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[14026]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/A1005-Front-Rendering-Brown.jpg\" alt=\"a simple cottage perfect for affordable new home construction in Florida\" class=\"wp-image-14032\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/A1005-Front-Rendering-Brown.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/A1005-Front-Rendering-Brown-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/plan\/the-forest-lake-cottage-2298\/\">THD-2298<\/a> \u2013 A Rustic 1,059-Square-Foot Cottage with 2 Bedrooms and 1.5 Baths<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Multi-Family House Plans<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thehousedesigners.com\/multi-familyplans.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Multi-family house plans<\/a> are actually pretty popular as well.
