What goes into a The Rookery payment
Principal and interest, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and possibly HOA/CDD fees depending on the community all affect your payment. Get a property-specific tax and insurance estimate; flood insurance may be required for some properties.
Florida's homestead exemption knocks up to $50,000 off your taxable value on a primary residence — don't forget to file it after closing.
Ways to lower your payment
Rate buydowns (often builder- or seller-paid), putting more down to drop PMI, shopping insurance hard, and choosing communities without CDD fees. We negotiate seller-paid buydowns regularly — ask us how.
