Buyer guide

Smart buying in University Park

Budget taxes on your purchase price, not the seller's bill: the 10% homestead cap is removed when a property sells. On a $2 million home at about 1.59%, plan for roughly $2,650 a month before exemptions. If you are considering a teardown, get a survey and confirm setbacks and city permit requirements before you price the rebuild.

Sellers

Getting your University Park home sold

In University Park the land often carries most of the value, so price your home against recent sales with a similar lot size and location, not just similar square footage. Before you spend on a remodel, ask whether your likely buyer is keeping the house or replacing it; if it is a builder or a rebuild buyer, a $150,000 kitchen will not come back to you. Clean, documented maintenance (roof, foundation, HVAC) helps both kinds of buyer.
