Active Adult 55+ New Construction Homes for Sale in Vero Beach

If you're an active adult thinking of buying a home for sale in Vero Beach, you may be deciding between new construction or a resale home. This is a concern many 55+ adult buyers face, one that merits considerable attention.

Why buy new construction?

There are some very obvious reasons why buyers prefer new construction. Who wouldn't be excited to live in a brand new home?

Here are a few reasons buyers love new construction:

1.  It’s Move-in ready
Buyers love the convenience of new homes. Given the choice between a home where all you need to do is move in and a home where some minor repairs are needed, you'd almost surely pick the new construction.

2. Everything is new
From the walls to the floors and all the appliances, everything is brand new. You get to discover the different secrets of the home, which can be really exciting.

3. No repair expenses
If you're already spending the money to buy a new home, you don’t want to have to make repairs or updates for a long time.  With all the warranties that come with a new home, it’s going to be a long time before you have to worry about replacing those very expensive items (like the roof.)

4. A more suitable modern design
Customers often tell me they want a home that has an “open” feel to it.  They often don’t know what they’re asking for until they see an older home with a formal living room, family room, and a closed off kitchen.  New construction homes feature an open floor concept which allows an easy flow and makes it easy to entertain guests.

5. Energy savings
With the continuous improvement of technology, new construction is more energy efficient than homes constructed five or ten years ago. This means new homes save more energy, which in turn saves you more money.

6. The option to choose
One of the most exciting things about buying new construction is the opportunity to personalize the look of the home. You get to decide the finish of the floor, you get to pick the colors of house, and you get to make the home all about you.

7. Your neighbors are new
Something most people don’t usually consider is that a new home in a new community means everyone is new.  You are moving into a community where there are not a lot of established relationships.  Everyone is looking to make friends.

What should you expect of new construction homes in active adult communities in Vero Beach?

Large open floor plans, gourmet kitchens, spacious master suites — these are some of the features you can expect from active adult home communities in Vero Beach. Let's take a look at a more detailed list of home features you can find.

If you long for a resort-style active lifestyle, Harmony Reserve is a great location. New construction in this community features living spaces ranging from 1,260 - 2,454 square feet with 2-4 bedrooms, 2-4 bathrooms, and 1-2 car garages. There is a lifestyle director down at the clubhouse waiting to find out what the residents want to do . . . and they are having fun!  They have parties and day trips planned quite regularly.  They even go on cruises together!  Harmony Reserve is all about pickleball as they have 8 courts.  When you come, remind me to show you the Harmony Reserve “Liquor Lockers.”

At Lakes at Waterway Village,  you will find a gated community of single-family homes and villas, with a fantastic resort clubhouse and pool.  They have tennis and pickleball courts. The homes have tall ceilings, walk-in closets, and lots of windows bringing the light into the open great room which is great for entertaining.  You can start out with a 2-bedroom villa with a den and go to a 4-bedroom home with a den.  They have 2- and 3-car garages and all the landscaping is done for you.  The Lakes at Waterway Village also has a lifestyle director.

Segovia Lakes is a quiet, gated community comprised of only 82 homes. It’s not a 55+ community, but it is age targeted to active adults. Segovia Lakes has a clubhouse with a fitness center and a pool.  The new construction price range is from the high $200,000s to the high $300,000s. Homes in Segovia Lakes feature 2-3 bedrooms, 2-2.5 bathrooms, and 2-3 car garages.  In fact, many people like the fact that you can buy a smaller home and still get a 3-car garage. The best feature of Segovia Lakes is the location, as it’s only a couple of blocks from State Road 60, Publix, and the Indian River Mall.

These are just a few of the Vero Beach communities offering single-family new construction homes.

If you’re planning to buy a home in Vero Beach soon and you want a smooth and stress-free transaction, call me Karen Mathers, at 772-532-3221.  It’s not easy finding your way to the best new construction communities. Many agents do not know all the communities.  I know new construction and I know where you want to be.

TOP HOME IMPROVEMENTS TO ATTRACT WOODFIELD BUYERS IN VERO BEACH!

If you’re planning to sell your home in Woodfield in Vero Beach, you’ve most likely considered whether you’re going to sell it as-is or have it updated. You’re not alone. This is a scenario most home sellers face.

Update the home before selling

If you want to sell quickly, a good way to figure out if you should update or not is to visit the other homes for sale in Woodfield.

Check out your competitors. Have they update their appliances? Are there new light fixtures? Has that worn carpeting been replaced?

If they updated their homes, perhaps you should also update yours. If you notice things looking worn or out of date, then your buyer will see it also.

You don’t need to undertake major remodeling projects as the Woodfield community is not that old and many of the standard features from 10-15 years ago are still desirable.  Some simple improvements and updates that won’t break the bank but will improve the aesthetic value of the home will be sure to attract buyers.

Home improvements that attract buyers

So what updates or home improvements should you do to make your Woodfield home stand out and be more appealing to buyers?

Check out these five updates which will help buyers fall in love with your home.

1.    Boost curb appeal. First impressions are crucial in real estate. Buyers make up their mind about your home within the first seven seconds, so make the most out of that. Make your curb appeal impressive by cleaning your home’s exterior, adding some flowering plants on your front porch to bring in some color, and make sure the brick pavers are free of the little weeds that like to grow in between them.

2.    Create more space. Buyers love spacious homes. While you can’t add more square feet to your living space without extending the house, you can make it look more spacious by decluttering. Removing extra furniture and belongings can transform your home’s interior into a bright and spacious one.

3.    Update light fixtures. Changing light fixtures is one of the most underrated home improvements. Many home sellers spend a lot of time and money repainting, buying new furniture, and worrying about the décor, and they simply forget about light. Lighting fixtures, especially the modern ones which can be dimmed or brightened, enhance the tone and ambiance of a room. A trick some sellers can easily do is remove the screens on the windows and put them in the garage.  Screens can make a home look darker.  It seems silly but it makes a difference.

4.    Minor kitchen updates. Replacing the hardware can improve your kitchen’s appearance without busting your budget.  Remove the extra kitchen appliances like mixers and can openers.  You can spend a few extra bucks by putting up a stylish backsplash if you do not have one already.

5.    Stage it. Staging the house is one of the keys to selling your home fast.  A home that is properly staged will help buyers more easily visualize the kind of life they will have in the home.  As agents, we have a hard time telling sellers to put up some of their cherished possessions as it looks like clutter to a buyer.

6. Clean, Paint and Replace Carpeting.  It’s hard having your home ready at a moment’s notice.  Reach out to me for another article I wrote about how to be prepared for showings without going crazy.  It is very important for buyers to walk into a sparkling clean house.  Painting with light neutral colors will help brighten up an older home.  If the carpeting is worn, replace it with an inexpensive neutral color carpet.  Do not say to yourself, “Well, I’ll just let the buyer choose what color carpet they want.”

One of my favorite real estate sayings:  “If the buyer has to use their imagination, it’s going to cost the seller money!

These simple techniques will make your home more attractive to buyers. Before you do any updates or improvements, make sure to consult with a real estate agent who specializes in selling homes for active 55+ adults, an agent like me, Karen Mathers.

❓🏠 Questions to Ask Before Buying a House in a Gated Community in Vero Beach

Living in a gated community

Are you looking for a new home in one of the gated communities in Vero Beach? Buying a home in a gated community sounds ideal. Gated communities have exceptional amenities, well-maintained homes, and offer the security and privacy you want.

But not all gated communities are the same. Some gated communities offer more amenities than others. Others offer better convenience and proximity to shops, restaurants, and healthcare.

Questions you need to ask

That's why it is important that you ask the right questions before signing any dotted line.


Here are seven important questions you should ask before buying a house in a gated community in Vero Beach.


1. Why is the owner selling the home?

Find out why the owner is selling the property. When someone sells a home, they have a good reason for doing so.


Is it because they need a bigger space? Is it for health reason? Could the reason have something to do with the house?


Of course, not all sellers are forthcoming about their reason. But it doesn’t hurt to ask.


2.  Is the home close to amenities?

One of the things you need to look for is how close the home is to amenities. While living in a gated community entails enjoying many amenities such as a community center with top-notch facilities, maybe a heated pool with spa, tennis courts, and more, it is also important that you check the distance of the home from shopping and dining options.


You’d also have to check if the house is close to transportation options.


3. Will your life be better in that house than where you are living now?

Buying a home is not an easy task. Before you commit to buying a home in a gated community, you need to know if relocating there will make your life happier and more satisfactory.

Many active adults move to Vero Beach 55+ communities that are specifically designed for their needs. If you are to move, it is best to find a community where you can explore your hobbies and improve the quality of your life.


4. What improvements and updates have been done to the house?

As a buyer, you need to know the specific improvements the owner did to maintain the home. Knowing these things help you submit a better offer. It also lets you know how much the owner took care of the home.


5. What are the amenities of the community and how are they maintained?

As a future resident of the Vero Beach active adult community, you want to know all the amenities you can enjoy. Don’t just take the owner and the real estate agent’s words for it. Check out all the facilities and see if they are all in good working condition.


6. Is there a nearby health facility?

With age comes physical conditions that will require more than just rest. When you buy a house, you need to ask if there is an onsite medical facility that can take care of you just in case something happens.


If there’s no onsite health facility, ask where the closest off-site medical facility is.


7. Are there restrictions? What are they?

All communities have restrictions for the safety and peace of the general residents. Before you sign anything, you need to ask what the restrictions are.


Some communities don’t allow pets. Other communities allow children as long as there is an over 55+ adult living in the house.


Once you know the restrictions, you can better decide if you want the house or not.


Don’t just settle for what the seller and agent tell you. Satisfy your curiosity. Ask questions. That’s the only want you’ll know if you to buy a home in a Vero Beach active adult gated community.
