Buying eTown's Final New Construction Homes: What Jacksonville Buyers Should Know
Information current as of November 11, 2026. Availability can change quickly. Last verified: November 11, 2026.
Most people shopping eTown compare floor plans and prices. The bigger question right now is timing. As of November 10, 2026, David Weekley's sales team reports that the three remaining villas at Villas at Kettering are the last new construction homes left in eTown. If that holds, every eTown purchase after these will be a resale. Here's what that means for you as a buyer, and how to decide whether one of the final three fits your plans.
What's left
Per David Weekley's sales team as of November 10, 2026, three Rosamond villas remain at 10272, 10280 and 10261 Mineral Road. David Weekley's website lists them at $494,700 to $504,900 as of November 11, 2026, each with 2,367 square feet and a 2-car garage. For the full breakdown, see The Final Three: New Construction Villas in eTown Jacksonville FL.
Why eTown's final new construction homes matter for buyers
Once builder inventory is gone, future purchases in eTown will be resales. Three things change when that happens:
- Pricing. A builder prices to sell out a community. A resale seller prices against recent neighborhood sales and their own goals. Neither is automatically cheaper, but they negotiate differently.
- Incentives. Builder financing incentives, like rate buydowns and closing cost help, come from the builder. Resale sellers can offer concessions, but there's no builder program behind them. The current David Weekley incentives on these homes are available through November 30, 2026, per the builder's sales team. Details are in David Weekley Incentives at Villas at Kettering. Confirm terms and deadlines with the builder and your lender.
- Warranty. A new David Weekley home comes with the builder's multi-level warranty: a one-year limited warranty, a two-year warranty on mechanical systems (plumbing, electrical, heating and air conditioning), and coverage for major structural defects during the first 10 years, per davidweekleyhomes.com. On a resale, any remaining builder warranty depends on the home's age and whether the warranty transfers, so ask for the paperwork. Confirm current warranty terms with the builder.
Is a new villa the right move for you?
A final-inventory home makes sense when the numbers and the timing both work for you, not because it's the last one. Ask yourself:
- How long will you stay? If you'll be here five years or more, a long-term fixed rate and a home with fresh systems usually matter more than a short-term payment break.
- Does your monthly budget include everything? Add the HOA ($240 a month) and CDD ($1,680 a year), per David Weekley's website, plus taxes and insurance.
- Do you want a villa? Paired villas share a wall and sit on 25-foot homesites. That's less yard work, and a little less privacy than a detached home.
- Can you close on a ready home? All three are marked "Ready Now" by the builder, so this works best if your lease, sale or move timing lines up soon.
