My honest take
Firefly Pointe is the tax-rate story on this site. Every other community here sits between about 2.13% and 2.95% all-in; the builder feed puts Firefly Pointe at 1.74%. On a $250,000 home that is roughly $80 a month less than the cheapest Pflugerville community and $220 a month less than Winfield Park a few minutes away, for as long as you own it.
What I like. Price times rate. The homes start around $214,000, most are one-story, Everything's Included means the sticker is close to the real number, and the holding cost is the lowest here. For a buyer whose budget is set by the monthly payment rather than the price, this is where the payment is lowest.
What to watch. Why the rate is low. A combined rate below the city's base rate usually means the lots are outside Hutto's limits, so confirm that on WCAD and ask who provides water and sewer. The plans are small (1,200 to about 2,170 sq ft) and there were no finished homes on 22 Oct; the first completions were dated for November. And Lennar's cuts here were smaller than at Winfield Park, because the prices were lower to begin with.
Who this is for. First-time buyers under $300,000 who want the lowest monthly payment and a one-story plan, and are happy with a starter home as-is.
My tour routine here. I register with you on the first visit, we look at the week's tagged homes, and I bring the WCAD page for a sold lot so you can see the taxing entities with your own eyes.
Questions about Firefly Pointe
Is the 1.74% tax rate real?
It is what the builder feed reports for every home here, and it is below Hutto's base rate of about 2.0%, which points to lots outside the city limits with no city tax. On a $250,000 home the difference from Winfield Park's 2.80% is about $220 a month, every month.
What is the catch with the low rate?
If the community is outside the city limits, you are not a city resident: water and wastewater may come from a utility company or district rather than the city, and police response is the county's. None of that is a dealbreaker; it is just worth knowing before you compare.
Are the homes small?
Yes. Plans run from 1,200 to about 2,170 sq ft and most are one story. This is a starter-home community, priced like one.
Does Lennar pay buyer's agents here?
Yes, 3% at the time of writing, but only if the agent registers in person with the buyer on the first visit. If you walk in alone first, Lennar treats you as unrepresented. Email me before you go.
