Buying pre-construction in Florida usually begins with registering early to receive first access to floor plans, pricing, and release details. Getting in early in a release can matter, since the best layouts and views are often selected first.

Deposits on new condos are typically staged over time, with payments tied to milestones such as signing, groundbreaking, and closing. Buyers should note that pre-construction purchases involve an interim period before the building is complete, with final closing occurring once the condominium is finished and ready for occupancy.

Under Florida law (FS 718.503), buyers of a new condominium generally have a 15-day rescission period after signing the purchase agreement and receiving the required documents. This is general information, not financial or legal advice — confirm all specifics with the builder and your own professional advisors.
