HOW TO COMPARE THESE OFFERS
A low advertised rate or a large credit is only part of the picture. Before you decide, ask for a full loan estimate and compare the APR. Find out what your payment could be after a temporary buydown ends. Confirm the contract and closing deadlines, and ask whether you must use the builder’s lender to qualify.
Also compare HOA and CDD costs, insurance estimates, and exactly what’s included in the home. As your Orlando real estate agent, I can help you review the details alongside your budget and priorities.
