Buying a Merrimac Ventures pre-construction home
How buying pre-construction works
Most buyers start by registering interest in a project. That can give them access to available units, pricing and floor plans, sometimes before a wider release. After choosing a unit, you sign a purchase contract and pay deposits on a schedule set out in it.
The building is then constructed, and closing takes place once it is ready for occupancy. In Florida, new condominium purchases carry a 15-day rescission period under FS 718.503. This applies to condos only. Have a lawyer review the contract and the developer's disclosure documents within that window.
For investors: what to evaluate
A pre-construction purchase lets a buyer secure a unit with staged deposits, then close when the building is complete. That spreads the capital outlay over time. It also means the unit is not available to rent or use until completion, and the market can change between contract and closing.
Before buying, look at how many comparable units are being delivered nearby and how quickly they are selling. Check rental demand in the specific Fort Lauderdale or Miami neighborhood, and think about how the building type affects that demand. Also review HOA or condo fees, the deposit schedule and the assignment rules in the contract. Nothing here predicts appreciation or returns, so run your own numbers with an advisor.
For first-time buyers
Pre-construction condos usually require a larger deposit than a typical resale purchase, paid in stages. The total and timing vary by project, so confirm them in each project's terms. Budget for closing costs and ongoing condo fees as well.
First-time buyers should ask what down-payment or purchase assistance programs they qualify for in Florida, and whether those programs apply to new construction. Registering early can give you first access to floor plans and pricing, and more time to plan your deposits.
