Common questions

What is the total property tax on a new home in Sterling Ranch?

Builders estimate about 1.15%–1.28% of the price per year, including the metro district. On $700,000 that is roughly $8,000–$9,000 a year. Use our cost calculator, and we confirm the exact figure with the county before you buy.

Do I have to use the builder's lender?

No, but most incentives (rate buydowns, closing credits) require the builder's affiliated lender. We help you compare the builder's offer against an outside lender so you see the real savings.
