Blue Tag Homes: Move-In Ready New Construction Homes in Central Florida
November 13, 2026
If you are shopping for a new construction home in Central Florida and want to move in soon rather than wait on a build, the Blue Tag Homes event from Trinity Family Builders is worth a close look. Select move-in ready homes in DeLand, Groveland, and Clermont are priced below their original list price, and qualified buyers financing with our preferred lender can access permanent promotional rates and help with closing costs. This guide explains what the offer includes, who it fits, and how to compare available homes before you tour.

What the Blue Tag Homes Event Includes
Blue Tag Homes are select quick move-in homes that Trinity Family Builders has marked down for a limited time. On the homes included in the event, pricing is up to $50,380 below the original list price. For example, at the time of publishing, a single-story Bennet floor plan at Trinity Gardens in DeLand was listed at $399,999, down from $437,309.
Buyers who finance with Guild Mortgage, our preferred lender, may also receive up to $10,000 toward eligible closing costs. The closing cost contribution is subject to loan program limits and your actual eligible costs, and any unused amount has no cash value.
The third part of the offer is financing. Qualified buyers can secure a permanent 30-year fixed rate of 5.5% on an FHA loan or 5.875% on a conventional loan through Guild Mortgage. Because the rate is fixed for the life of the loan, the lower payment does not reset after a year or two the way a temporary buydown can.
The event runs through December 31, 2026. To see every home currently included, view the Blue Tag Homes collection.

How the estimated monthly savings work
On select homes, Trinity Family Builders estimates monthly savings of roughly $378 to $741. Those figures compare the promotional rates with illustrative market rates of 7% for FHA and 7.375% for conventional loans. They are estimates, not guarantees, and they do not include the closing cost allowance. Your actual payment depends on the home you choose, your loan program, your down payment, taxes, insurance, and lender approval. A New Home Advisor can walk you through the numbers on a specific home.
Financing requirements to know before you tour
The promotional rates and closing cost contribution require financing through Guild Mortgage. The promotion assumes a minimum credit score of 720, and conventional financing requires at least 10% down. Trinity Family Builders is a home builder, not a lender, so all financing is subject to Guild Mortgage approval. Blue Tag offers cannot be combined with other promotions, and the builder may modify or withdraw offers without notice. If you plan to use the promotional financing, getting prequalified before your tour will make it much easier to compare homes with real numbers.
Why Move-In Ready New Construction Makes Sense Right Now
For many buyers, the hardest part of buying new construction is the wait. A to-be-built home can take many months, and your rate, lease, and moving plans all have to hold steady in the meantime. A move-in ready home removes most of that uncertainty. The home is already built or close to it, so you can walk through the actual house, see the actual lot, and plan your move around a much shorter timeline. Closing dates still depend on the builder's construction schedule, so ask your New Home Advisor about the expected closing window for any home you are considering.
The Blue Tag event adds a second advantage. Instead of choosing between a lower price and a lower payment, qualified buyers may get both on select homes. For a buyer comparing a resale home with an older roof and aging systems against a brand-new home at a reduced price, that combination can change the math meaningfully.

Where Blue Tag Homes Are Available in Central Florida
Blue Tag Homes are spread across four Trinity Family Builders communities in Volusia and Lake counties. Each one offers a different mix of commute access, home sizes, and everyday surroundings.
Trinity Gardens in DeLand
Trinity Gardens has the largest selection of Blue Tag homes, with pricing from the $350s. Options range from single-story four-bedroom plans like the Bennet and the Bradlee to larger two-story homes like the Lennox, with six bedrooms and 3,734 square feet, and the Theodore, with five bedrooms and 4,438 square feet. That range makes Trinity Gardens a strong fit for first-time buyers, growing families, and buyers who need space for extended family.
DeLand gives you a historic downtown with local restaurants and shops, Stetson University, and access to I-4 and US-17/92 for commutes toward Orlando or the Daytona Beach area. Blue Spring State Park in nearby Orange City is a short drive for weekend outings. Explore the Trinity Gardens community page or schedule a tour to see the available homes in person.

Trinity Lakes in Groveland
Trinity Lakes offers homes from the low $360s. At the time of publishing, Blue Tag options included the Gilchrist, a two-story four-bedroom plan with 2,680 square feet, and the Sims, a two-story five-bedroom plan with 3,230 square feet.
Groveland sits along the SR 50 corridor, which connects to Clermont, Florida's Turnpike, and the west Orlando area. The South Lake Trail and Lake David Park in downtown Groveland give residents easy options for walking, biking, and time outdoors. View the Trinity Lakes community page to see the site plan and current homes.

Ridgeview in Clermont
Ridgeview offers homes from the low $500s in south Clermont. At the time of publishing, the Blue Tag DeLeon, a two-story five-bedroom home with 2,356 square feet, was listed at $535,524, down from $563,709.
Ridgeview is convenient to US-27 and SR 429, a practical setup for buyers commuting toward the Disney area, Horizon West, or greater Orlando. Clermont's lakefront parks, trails, and the Clermont Waterfront area add plenty of options close to home. Visit the Ridgeview community page to compare floor plans.
Eagletail Landings in Howey-in-the-Hills
The Blue Tag homes at Eagletail Landings have sold, but the community continues to offer homes from the $320s. Howey-in-the-Hills has a small-town, lakeside setting along Little Lake Harris, with SR 19 connecting to Florida's Turnpike for trips toward Orlando. If Eagletail Landings is on your list, a New Home Advisor can show you similar homes and floor plans that are available now. View the Eagletail Landings community page.
How to Compare Blue Tag Homes Before You Tour
With homes spread across four cities and a wide range of sizes, it helps to narrow your list before you visit. Start with commute and location, since that is the one thing you cannot change after you move in. Then decide whether a single-story or two-story layout fits your household, especially if you are downsizing or planning for aging parents. Next, look at how many bedrooms and flex spaces you actually need, then compare price per home rather than price per square foot alone.
Financing is the other key filter. If you expect to use an FHA loan, focus on homes where the FHA estimate applies. If you plan to put 10% or more down on a conventional loan, the conventional rate may be the better fit. You can compare floor plans online to see how each layout lives before you choose which homes to tour.
