Are you trying to decide between buying a new construction home or an existing resale property in Brevard County?

In this episode, Lindsay Schellhorn of Morgan Financial sits down with Kelly Oduber of High Tide Group to break down the real differences between new builds and resale homes — beyond just the purchase price.

We cover:
🏗 Builder incentives happening right now
🏡 Inspection differences between resale and new construction
💰 Property tax increases on new builds (what surprises buyers)
🛡 Insurance cost differences in Florida
📍 Location considerations in Viera, Palm Bay, Melbourne & the Space Coast
📊 Lot premiums, CDD fees & upgrade costs

Whether you're looking at new construction in Viera with Viera Builders, building in Palm Bay, or considering an established neighborhood in Melbourne or beachside, the right choice depends on your timeline, budget, and long-term financial goals.

If you’re buying in Brevard County and want help comparing the numbers side by side, reach out to our team at Morgan Financial. We’re happy to walk you through it.
