David Weekley Homes’ Griffin Park Townhomes,
located in the Seminole County city of Lake Mary, are
packed with community amenities such as a pool and
a dog park. The homes, which range in size from 1,529
to 1,911 square feet, are priced starting in the $297s.
The company has communities across Central Florida, including
two in Orange County, three in Osceola County, seven in Polk
County and one in Lake County. Single-family home prices start in
the low $200s; sizes range from 1,600 to 2,800 square feet.
Harwood says Richmond American’s buyers like the ability
to personalize the finishes on their homes. “At this price point,
it’s rare to find the ability to have those choices,” he notes. “The
open concept is appealing as well.”
Why do relocators gravitate to Central Florida? Harwood
lists the usual reasons: “Great weather, low cost of living, it’s
family friendly, there are many outdoor activities, and beaches
and theme parks are close by.”
Toll Brothers (tollbrothers.com) also offers a “Fly-and-Buy”
incentive program to assist relocators. Through the program,
the company reimburses some travel expenses and offers luxury
accommodations while buyers are in town.
Fanning identified three Toll Brothers communities that
would appeal to relocation buyers.
