When you're weighing an older resale against a new build in South Florida, the price gap is the wrong number to look at first. The real comparison is total cost of ownership over the first five years, not the sticker price on closing day.

What new construction actually gives you

Current hurricane codes, new mechanical systems, and often a builder warranty. That's real value, especially on insurance.

What older resale often gives you

Mature landscaping, an established neighborhood, and sometimes a lot and location new construction simply can't replicate at any price in this market.
