New Construction Home Sales In North Florida

All of today's graphs include the top 20 neighborhoods based upon the number of homes sold thus far in 2020. The first shows the most active new construction neighborhoods.

The Park in Wakulla County (followed closely by Southwood in Leon County) continues to be the most productive new construction home community, averaging more than four newly built homes sold and closed each month.

In the "old days," Leon County neighborhoods would dominate this list, but the cost of development here is so high we've chased the builders to the surrounding counties. Even Gadsen County's Rustling Pines made the list, something we would not have likely seen in the 1990s or before.

Are you curious about what it costs to build a home around Tallahassee? The next graph shows you the average cost (measured in price per square foot) that you'll pay for a home in the most-active new construction neighborhoods.
