Take the Fast Track to a New Oakmont Home

October 21, 2024Finding a new custom Florida home in Gainesville doesn’t have to be a months-long process. You have more options than you think, especially when you search for a new home at Oakmont. Located on the city’s booming southwest side, Oakmont is Gainesville’s top master-planned community, offering the area’s best resident amenities, multiple choices of lots to build on, award-winning floor plans, and — wait for it — plenty of inventory homes. Whether you’re on a tight timeline to make your Gainesville move, or don’t want to wait eight months for a new build, inventory homes are the perfect solution. They’re already under construction, or are finished or will be soon, all of which can slice months off any timeline. Intrigued? Here’s how to take the fast track to a new Oakmont Home The basics Inventory homes — also known as spec (for speculative) or move-in ready homes — are built to sell rather than for a particular customer. They’re typically popular, best-selling floor plans, and builders typically build a variety of these floor plans to ensure customers have a good selection. If you’re squeamish about what they look like inside and out, know that inventory homes are built with timeless, neutral colors and materials so that they appeal to a wide range of potential customers. The same goes for an inventory’s home’s elevation — or exterior appearance. Each floor plan’s elevation will be appropriate for the design aesthetic of its community. And expect some variety here too. Each floor plan comes with several different elevations, which means even if you find several inventory homes from the same floor plan, they’ll typically sport different interiors AND exteriors. How to find them Head for ICI Homes’ website and cruise through the current list of inventory homes available at Oakmont. They’re listed as move-in-ready (buy it today), quick-move-in (within 30 days of completion) and ready soon (within 45-60 days). At any time, there’s usually quite a variety of floor plans for Oakmont inventory homes, from 1,650 square feet to more than 3,000 square feet. A recent listing revealed both front-load (the traditional garage entry from the front) and rear-load homes (the garage and its driveway located behind the home), plus single-level and two-level homes. All good choices No matter whether you decide to buy an Oakmont inventory home or build one from scratch, you can rest easy on the quality of your new custom Florida home. All ICI Homes homes —both inventory and new builds — are built to our EQ Factor standards. It’s our commitment to using the latest residential building techniques and materials so that your home is energy-efficient, stocked with the latest residential digital technology (the smartest possible smart homes!) and is environmentally friendly. This means your home is built as airtight as possible, to all the latest codes, and is one that you can have full confidence in — whether built from scratch or a great inventory-home deal.
