See How Getting in Early Pays Off for Florida Luxury Condominium Buyers

With the current uncertainty surrounding the stock market and the impact of inflation on the national economy, Florida real estate investors can find a glimmer of hope on the horizon. National Association of Home Builders CEO Jerry Howard highlighted the intentional 1.9% population growth in Florida, emphasizing the state’s commitment to fostering growth across all sectors. This growth is attracting people and creating opportunities for construction. Despite the positive outlook for the luxury real estate segment, there is another proven strategy that is reaping rewards for buyers of luxury high-rise properties.

Typical condominium construction projects take nearly two years to complete, starting from the groundbreaking phase. Developers understand the importance of early engagement from the market and therefore offer the best pricing and incentives during the initial stages of construction. As each construction milestone is achieved, prices increase, gradually enhancing the value for homebuyers throughout the building process. By making an early purchasing decision, buyers often enjoy the greatest benefits due to high demand, limited inventory, and increased property values upon completion.

Kolter Urban, the esteemed developer behind ONE Tampa, has established an impressive track record of success, gaining a devoted following across Florida. Early buyers consistently enjoy the privilege of selecting their preferred floorplans, views, and interior finishes that align with their personal style. In contrast, those who delay their decision must accept the preselected finishes, as the development team makes the choices on their behalf. Kolter Urban’s profound understanding of market dynamics, prime locations, and building design has led to significant appreciation for buyers who make timely decisions. The data below demonstrates the substantial gains achieved at previous Kolter Urban properties.

Residence Interiors that Reflect Your Style

By the time luxury condominiums are completed, the interior selections have already been made either by early buyers or the development team. This crucial milestone takes place during the initial stages of construction, where interior finishes and materials are pre-ordered to ensure timely delivery. Therefore, delaying your purchase decision eliminates your ability to personalize the interior finishes. Opting to wait means accepting preselected finishes and potentially being limited to secondary locations within the building, if any options are even available. On the other hand, early buyers have the privilege of thoughtfully selecting their future homes. They can choose between desirable corner residences or specific views. However, it’s important to act promptly as these opportunities may not last for long.

Innovation & Design Create Value

Instant Gratification

While buying pre-construction offers numerous benefits, it’s important to note that most condominiums experience their highest demand once the residences are completed. In Tampa, Florida, ONE Tampa stands out as the latest Kolter Urban property currently under development and set to be delivered in 2024. This timing ensures its distinct market position. Furthermore, the scarcity of new condominium inventory in the area will likely contribute to potential price appreciation. Homebuyers who prioritize instant gratification may need to be prepared to pay a higher price for immediate availability.

The Tampa Bay housing market continues to shine as one of the top premium housing markets in the country, as highlighted by a market study conducted by Bankrate.com and reported in the Tampa Business Journal. This metropolitan area, comprising Tampa, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater, has experienced a surge in popularity, driven by its impressive home appreciation value and low unemployment rate. According to Bankrate, Tampa Bay ranks among the hottest large housing markets in the United States, securing the 3rd position overall, 9th in home appreciation, 14th in job growth, and 18th in unemployment rates.

The combination of a robust job environment, a growing population, and an appealing walkable lifestyle has fueled the surge in demand for housing in the Tampa Bay area and its surrounding suburbs. With demand reaching an all-time high and limited inventory available, home prices are projected to rise significantly above the national average.
