New Home Tampa

We are planning to build a new home around the Tampa, FL area sometime next spring. (Right now we are living in Pittsburgh, PA.)
We want to buy something less than $500k with a pool, 4-6 bedrooms, 3500+ square feet, and a fair plot of land.
Can you get a decent home around $400k?
(I have heard that Tampa is quite expensive for new homes.)
I have checked into some homebuilders in FL and requested some info, but photos only do so much.
If anyone has any experience with any builders down there it would be appreciated.
That way we fly down to get more info we won't waste any unnecessary time.
Thanks!
(Sorry this is posted under this section but this is the closest listing I could to Tampa for ANYTHING!)

My fiance is a Stucco Plasterer and does GC (general construction contracting) in Pinellas (lives there) and Hillsborough County (I live in Tampa) and I say the "outside" of city limits ofTampa areas are nicer than say most of Tampa (excluding a few bits like South Tampa, Carrollwood, Westchase/Town-n-Country, Harbour Island, and maybe New Tampa and few other spots) but Brandon, Lutz, Oldsmar, and such are very pretty and car insurance is usually cheaper due to low crime.

Right at this very moment in Tampa You can find a decent, new home here at the price you are looking OR EVEN Less when you take in all the FREE buyer incentive deals that sellers are being forced to throw in right now and the Tamp Tribune recently did an in depth news article on it (still shop around for a good deal, and I could recommend a few builders but it's better to read this article and educate yourself on how you can shave off the price for things you may not wish to pay for yourself that add to home equity)(http://www.tbo.com/news/nationworld/MGBD FL31WPE.html


hope it helps!

I'm 6-6, on the edge of the playoff picture, and I"m playing the guy with L.T. this week, so this is a big one. thanks.

Ben v. Tampa is a decent matchup, but Romo has been on fire. He's going against a Giants team that just is too unstable. I'd stay on the bandwagon at least for this week.

I need to find a condo (not apt-condo conversion), townhouse or rental house in Tampa, but not New Tampa or anything surrounding Tampa, like St. Pete, Brandon, Land O Lakes or Seffner but not in the ghetto or near it. I'm trying to find a 2br/2ba that's under $1000/mo. Am I asking the impossible?

We currently live in Miami and are looking to move this year. I have some places in mind and Tampa is one of them. Where can I find a good priced home? I've ran across "New Tampa" during my new homes search. Does anyone know where that's at? How is it?

many years ago i moved there from miami, it was not good. it was after mariel and tampa was a hard place to live in. it was pretty. it was quieter than miami, but it made me realize i missed miami
