New Construction Homes in Davie FL: What Buyers Should Know in 2026

If you've been watching the Davie real estate market, you've probably noticed something: new construction is reshaping the landscape. From luxury gated communities with seven-figure estates to mid-range builder communities offering modern floor plans, Davie is in the middle of a building surge that's giving buyers more options than they've had in years. Whether you're a move-up buyer, a relocating professional, or someone who simply wants a brand-new home with current building codes and modern finishes, understanding what's available — and what it costs — is the first step.

Why New Construction Is Booming in Davie

Several factors are driving the new construction wave in Davie. First, the town's location — inland from the coast, with easy access to I-75, I-595, and the Florida Turnpike — makes it attractive to builders and buyers alike. Second, Davie's zoning allows for a mix of residential densities, from equestrian estates on acre-plus lots to denser gated communities with smaller footprints. Third, demand is strong: buyers relocating to South Florida from out of state often prefer new construction because it comes with modern hurricane-rated windows, updated building codes, energy efficiency, and no immediate repair concerns.

For buyers coming from states with strict building codes, a brand-new Florida home built to post-2002 hurricane standards offers genuine peace of mind — especially impact-rated glass, reinforced concrete block construction, and modern roofing systems designed to handle South Florida weather.

Top New Construction Communities in Davie (2026)

The current new construction market in Davie ranges from approximately $600,000 to over $2 million, with some ultra-luxury estates exceeding $3 million. Here's a look at the most notable communities active in 2026.

Estates by Turnberry (CC Homes)

This is the crown jewel of Davie's new construction market. Turnberry Estates is a luxury gated community with 151 single-family homes developed by CC Homes in partnership with Turnberry Associates. Base prices start at $1.6 million and exceed $2 million, with homes ranging from 4,234 to 7,204 square feet on generous 25,000-square-foot lots.

The community began construction in late 2025, with homesites originally sold to CC Homes by Turnberry for approximately $50 million. These are true luxury estates with high-end finishes, open floor plans, and the kind of space and privacy that discerning South Florida buyers expect. If you're looking at the upper end of Davie's market, Turnberry Estates sets the standard.

Marigold by Pulte Homes

Marigold is a gated community featuring 199 single-family homes by Pulte, one of the most established national builders. Floor plans range from 2,400 to 3,700 square feet, with pricing that has been reported across a wide range — from the low $600,000s for base plans to over $1.8 million for larger configurations with premium upgrades. The community includes multiple active listings as of 2026, and Pulte's reputation for energy-efficient construction and modern design makes this an attractive option for buyers who want new construction at a more accessible price point than Turnberry.

Pulte also offers customizable options, allowing buyers to select finishes, layouts, and structural upgrades during the build process. For buyers who want input on their home's final look and feel, this is a significant advantage over resale inventory.

The Vineyards

Located in West Davie, The Vineyards is a gated community with homes priced between $700,000 and $1 million. Homes here feature 2,200 to 3,800 square feet of living space on lots averaging 7,500 to 10,000 square feet. The architectural styles lean Mediterranean and transitional — a popular aesthetic in South Florida that blends classic design with modern functionality.

The Vineyards is well-suited for move-up buyers and families who want a newer home with community amenities, without crossing into the luxury price range. The location provides convenient access to Davie's schools, shopping, and major roads.

Flamingo Ranch Estates

Flamingo Ranch Estates is priced from $900,000 to $1.8 million, positioning it between the mid-range communities and the ultra-luxury Turnberry project. The community features larger homesites and a more private, estate-style feel compared to the higher-density builder communities. It's a strong option for buyers who want new construction with space and separation between neighbors.

New Construction vs. Resale: Which Makes More Sense?

The median resale price in Davie is approximately $845,000 for single-family homes, according to 2026 market data. That overlaps significantly with the new construction price range — which raises a natural question: should you buy new or buy resale?

Here's how the decision typically breaks down:

When New Construction Makes More Sense

• You want modern building codes. New homes in Florida are built to the latest hurricane and energy standards, which can translate to lower insurance premiums and fewer maintenance concerns in the first 10 years.
• You want customization. Many builders allow you to select finishes, layouts, and upgrades during the build process — something you can't do with a resale home.
• You want a warranty. New construction homes typically come with builder warranties covering structural elements, systems, and finishes for 1 to 10 years.
• You want a clean slate. No prior owners, no hidden repair issues, no deferred maintenance. Everything is new.

When Resale Might Be the Better Choice

• You want a mature neighborhood. Established Davie neighborhoods have mature trees, completed landscaping, and a sense of community that new developments take years to develop.
• You want a specific location. New construction is limited to available land parcels. If you need to be in a specific school zone or near a particular area, resale gives you more options.
• You want more land. Many of Davie's best properties — particularly on the equestrian west side — aren't available for new construction. The largest lots and most privacy are typically found in established neighborhoods.
• You want to negotiate. Resale transactions often have more room for price negotiation than builder contracts, which tend to be more fixed — especially in a strong seller's market.

What to Watch for When Buying New Construction

If you decide to go the new construction route, there are a few things to keep in mind that are specific to the South Florida market:

Get Your Own Agent

The sales agents at builder model homes work for the builder — not for you. Having your own buyer's agent ensures that someone is looking out for your interests during contract negotiations, option selections, and the inspection process. In most cases, the builder pays the buyer's agent commission, so there's no additional cost to you.

Understand the Full Cost

Base prices don't tell the full story. Upgrades, lot premiums, design center selections, and structural options can add 15% to 30% or more to the base price. Before you commit, get a clear picture of what the home will actually cost with the features you want — not just what the model home tour suggests.

Watch the Timeline

New construction build times can vary — especially in South Florida, where weather, supply chain delays, and permit timelines can extend the process. A realistic timeline for most Davie new construction projects is 8 to 14 months from contract to closing, depending on the community and the stage of construction. Ask your agent to help you understand where things stand and what contingencies to build into the contract.

Schedule Your Own Inspections

Even with a brand-new home, independent inspections are essential. A pre-drywall inspection and a final walkthrough inspection by an independent inspector can catch issues that builder quality control may miss. This is one of the most important steps in protecting your investment.

The Bottom Line

Davie's new construction market in 2026 offers real opportunity — whether you're looking for a $600,000 family home or a $2 million luxury estate. The key is understanding what's available, how it compares to resale options, and what the true cost will be once upgrades and options are factored in.

A local agent who knows the builders, the communities, and the contracts can save you time, money, and headaches. I've helped buyers navigate new construction purchases throughout Broward County, and the difference a knowledgeable agent makes — especially when it comes to negotiations, inspections, and understanding builder contracts — is significant.
