Before you buy
What to know about buying new in Palmer Ranch
HOA and community fees
DiVosta's materials note that community association fees may apply. Ask for the HOA budget, any district assessment and what the fees cover before you choose a homesite.
Builder financing offers
DiVosta advertises rate programs through Pulte Mortgage, its affiliated lender, that apply to certain homes until the funds run out and require closing by a set date. Compare with a loan estimate from your own lender.
Flood zone and insurance
Ask for the flood zone of the exact homesite and get an insurance quote before you sign. Two homes in the same community can land in different zones, and the difference shows up in your monthly cost.
Builder contracts and deposits
Builders use their own purchase contracts, not the standard Florida form. Read the deposit terms, the completion date language and what happens if the builder's timeline slips. On a large deposit, have a real estate attorney review it.
