Having just built a new home here in Florida within the past year, I still remember what it was like when we were out shopping for that house. Weekend trips to towns all over the Tampa Bay area, stopping at model homes, listening to builders and their sales people tell us why we should buy in their community. It was a lot of work, and extremely time consuming. We used several websites to help us find builders in the area, but we found most of them to be lacking in information. I wanted a site where I could get as much information as possible on each builder in one place.

The residents of south Florida are in luck, because such a website exists specifically for buyers and builders in south west Florida. The site covers builders from Tampa down south to Naples, and features pricing for each, floorplans, and community information. I really love how when you mouseover a particular builder’s icon, is shows you exactly where they build on the map. That’s a handy feature, especially when you’re comparing two builders. The site also features a search function, and homebuyer tips and resources about the area and what to expect.
