Now is the perfect time to start building your custom home in Cape Coral, Florida. 🏡 If you begin in September/October, your new home will be ready by next fall or winter season. Interest rates are trending down, meaning lower costs on your construction loan. Fixed price contracts lock in your sales price — no surprises from tariffs or material increases. Labor availability is strong, giving you extra detail and attention. Beat the winter rush (January–March) when crowds and backlogs hit Southwest Florida builders.  Those are some of the reasons you should start your new home building process with Lauren Homes.
