What does it take to buy an entry-level home in Crosswinds today? The median price for the bottom quartile of sales is $342,500 across 38 closed sales over the last six months. This figure represents the most affordable tier available in this master-planned community. ALEX Intelligence analyzed the payment burden using current market rates to determine affordability. With a 7.18% interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage and 20% down, the principal and interest payment for a median-priced entry home is $1,856 per month. This calculation excludes taxes and insurance but provides a baseline for monthly housing costs. Compared to the same period last year, prices in this entry tier have dropped by 8.3%, while the number of sales has decreased significantly. The market remains active with new listings appearing regularly, though inventory levels suggest a balanced environment where buyers have time to evaluate options. For those considering a buydown, a 2-1 buydown would cost approximately $6,432, reducing the initial monthly payment by $355 in the first year. A 3-2-1 buydown costs $12,660 and offers savings of up to $519 per month in the first year. These incentives can improve immediate cash flow for buyers entering the market at current rate levels. The median home size for these entry-level properties is 2,173 square feet, offering substantial living space relative to the price point. Buyers should note that 78.9% of recent sales closed below the original list price, indicating room for negotiation in this segment. Want a closer look?
