I loved the community. However the initial sales person I had, Cory Wilson, was very deceptive, never explained all the options available to me. He rushed to get me to sign a contract that had to be completely redone after I complained. Thankfully, he has been moved to another location, but now I feel bad for those people. If you go into any community, BRING A REALTOR!!!! If you do not, they will not let you have one to represent you after you sign the preliminary contract, even if you let them know that same day. Their rule is that you bring a Realtor in with you, if you do not, you cannot have one. No one explains that when you walk in and there's no signs explaining that. When you're doing the contract, good old Cory was good about asking me if I had a realtor when I said no do you have one you recommend he was more than willing to recommend his friend. But as soon as I got home, I found my own realtor and let him know immediately by then it was too late. VERY DECEPTIVE OF HIM. Not all people know this. You know your driving, you see the community and you stop in to look not thinking you will really buy, but then you decide to bc you love the community. He took advantage of that when it came to me having a realtor. How was I supposed to know that you MUST have one with you when you go look at the model!!!!!! Crazy, but very legal. The new sales person I am dealing with is great. But not being allowed to have a realtor represent me for the new build is crazy to me. Hopefully things go smother from here on out and Cory need remedial training or something. He did so many things wrong. He even picked out the color of the home, so I had to go and redo that and explain to them that he never showed me the colors of the homes. Just crazy...... I was later told that sometimes they have to do that but if that was the case, he should've followed up with me to tell me, "hey, I had to pick a color just for the contract that you can come in and pick the color you want", but nope I had to find that out on my own.....He should not be working in a 55 and up community where some are way older than me. Del Webb needs to practice transparency and honesty with everyone walking through the door. Not everyone has knowledge of real estate.

Cheap spec homes that will leak and you will have a nightmare trying to get your money back
Horrible experience with our purchase at Del Webb Oasis. Run far away from Pulte & Del Webb.

Potential Buyer Beware!!! We are about to close on two properties at Del Webb Oasis and the last couple of weeks prior to closing have been horrible. We had a great experience with our sales team as well as construction team; however, there are two things I wish I would have known along the way...
First, they dictate your closing date whether it's weeks (or months) before or after the "estimated completion date" they give you when signing. We were told beginning to mid-April when we signed in November, our construction team kept saying middle of April along the way as well. Then mid-March out of nowhere the closing office reached out to say we'd be closing at the end of March. They provided the date with no flexibility, and even when we got management involved they stated that's our closing date no matter what was previously stated and we had to close on that date or would be in breach of contract..
Second... Pulte is not transparent and VERY secretive with how much they supplement the HOA to keep the fees low for sales purposes. Despite us being at the end of March we still don't have an approved HOA budget for 2026. Pulte is dragging their feet in releasing that budget so that they can sell the remaining 10 homes left at the property. They currently supplement 20-30%. So beware that once Pulte leaves the development and residents are responsible for all HOA fees, your HOA will increase by at least 20%, closer to 30% should you keep all the amenities that Pulte "offers" as part of the community. This was never transparent to us, and every time we asked them about supplementing we were always given the runaround and never a clear answer.
I wish both these things would been disclosed at the beginning. What started with a great experience has now left us feeling like Pulte was secretive and dishonest the entire time. We will never purchase a home through them again. BTW the majority of residents at Oasis that are learning about the HOA increase are VERY upset as well. They will do the same to Lakehaven.
I currently reside in Davenport, and my parents have requested some insights regarding the new Del Webb community. I found the pricing quite steep, especially given that it involves new construction. The starting price is $403,000 for a 1,400 square foot, two-bedroom, two-bathroom home. It's worth noting that this price reflects builder-grade finishes, so with upgrades, total costs could exceed $450,000.
In comparison, for about $400,000, prospective buyers can find homes over 2,000 square feet in the Davenport Del Webb community, which is conveniently located within 5 to 10 minutes of shopping centers, restaurants, and a hospital. Conversely, the Lakehaven Del Webb community is situated in a more isolated area, requiring a 15 to 20-minute drive to reach the nearest Publix or Walmart, and around 30 minutes to get to a hospital. Overall, the pricing for this development seems disproportionately high given its location and the square footage available.
