Not all Townhomes are Created Equal | Buyers Agent Services | David Barr Realtor

The construction of your Lakewood Ranch townhome can affect your enjoyment of the property, insurability, and it's resale value.

This new construction townhome has CBC (concrete block construction) on the 2nd floor, but uses wood framing around exterior walls and windows.

More extensive use of concrete block is the preferred method. CBC will increase sound-deadening properties for more privacy, and offer better protection in the event of a fire. You will have better protection against water intrusion, pests, and high winds

This condo with wood framing on the 2nd story is probably the least desirable option.


In this changing real estate market, it's important to remember that new construction costs the same as the builder's advertised prices when you're working with your own Realtor.


Home buyers during the pandemic made hasty purchase decisions, but you have time now to make your best decision. Contact me directly 941-993-6853 david@davidbarrhomes.com.
