Hernando County cities like Brooksville and Spring Hill also offer entry-level new construction in the $230K-$280K range. These areas provide lower land costs while remaining within commuting distance of Tampa and major employment centers.

You are not legally required to have an agent, but it is strongly recommended. The sales agent at the builder's model home represents the builder — not you. A buyer's agent provides independent representation during contract negotiations, inspection oversight, and closing. The builder pays the buyer's agent commission, so this representation costs you nothing. Barrett Henry provides free buyer representation across all 8 Tampa Bay counties.

Hillsborough County and Pasco County lead the region in new-construction activity by volume. Hillsborough benefits from Tampa's economic growth, while Pasco County (especially Wesley Chapel, Land O' Lakes, and Zephyrhills) has some of the fastest-growing zip codes in the nation. Manatee County (Bradenton, Parrish) and Polk County (Lakeland, Winter Haven) round out the top four for active new-construction communities.
