New construction in Pace
I work directly with D.R. Horton, Adams Homes and Holiday Builders, and I sit on your side of the builder's table.
Pace is one of the busiest places for new construction
New construction in Pace FL is a big part of this market. Builders release new phases and lots over time, including Holiday Builders in Jubilee, so what is available changes from month to month. For buyers, that means choices on floor plans and lots. It also means you are dealing with a builder's contract, a sales team and a build schedule.
Talk Before You Visit a Builder
How I help Pace new construction buyers
Vivian Corwin is a bilingual Realtor and Military Relocation Professional with IXL Real Estate in Pensacola, FL, helping military and relocating families buy and sell homes across Pensacola, Pace, Milton, Gulf Breeze, and Navarre. I work directly with D.R. Horton, Adams Homes and Holiday Builders, and I know how their contracts, deposits and timelines work. I regularly negotiate price, repairs, closing costs or incentives on new construction. In Pace, I also confirm the school zone for the exact lot, because a phase on the edge of a community can fall on a different side of a zone line than you expect.
From lot to keys
Choose a lot or a finished home, review the builder's contract with me, make your selections, inspect before the walls close up if the builder allows it, inspect again before closing, and do a final walk-through with any fixes in writing. More on buying new construction.
Pace new builds vs. the alternatives
A Pace new build gives you the zone and a new home. A Milton new build often gives you more land for the money. A resale home in Pace can beat both on price if it is well kept. Read new construction or an older home, and talk with Vivian before your first model visit.

Pace sits in Santa Rosa County, northeast of Pensacola across Escambia Bay, and is one of the busiest places in the area for new construction.
Much of the demand here comes from buyers who want the Pace High School zone, so I confirm the zone for every address rather than trusting an online map.
