Floor plans, homes and offers06 The payment
Start with the payment that feels right, or with a home price, and see the whole picture: principal and interest, taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues. Then see how a builder's rate buydown changes the first years.
Rate starts at the Freddie Mac weekly average for a 30-year fixed loan, 7.40% (15-year: 6.71%), as of October 15, 2026. It's a reference point, not a quote. Change it to anything you like.
Starting values: Franklin County's median effective property tax rate, 1.69% (Ownwell, April 2026; Delaware, Union, Madison, Fairfield and Licking counties differ). Ohio's average home insurance premium for $400,000 of dwelling coverage, $2,080 a year (NerdWallet, March 2026). Private mortgage insurance usually runs $30 to $70 a month per $100,000 borrowed (Freddie Mac), so 0.60% sits in the middle. FHA uses 0.55% a year plus a 1.75% upfront premium added to the loan (HUD). Add the community's HOA dues when you know them.

How a builder buydown works
With a temporary buydown, the builder pays money up front so your rate starts lower and steps up to the full rate. A 2-1 buydown starts two points lower in year one and one point lower in year two. A 1-0 buydown is one point lower for the first year. Here's what it does on the loan above.
| Year | Rate | Principal and interest |
|---|
For illustration only. These are estimates from the numbers you enter, not a loan estimate, a quote, an advertisement of credit terms or an offer to lend. Your rate, APR and payment depend on your credit, loan program, down payment, lender fees and the property, and taxes and insurance vary by home and county. The Wulf Collaboration and Coldwell Banker Realty are not lenders. Talk with a licensed lender before you decide.
Before you visit a model home
The sales team in the model is great at what they do, and their job is to sell the builder's homes. Having your own agent costs you nothing extra in most cases, and it puts someone on your side for the decisions that matter most.
Most builders need your agent with you, or registered, at your first visit to the community. If you walk in on your own first, it can be hard to bring an agent in later. A quick text to 614-483-2044 before you go is all it takes.
I set up the appointment, come with you, and make sure you're on record as my client.
Homesite premiums, which way the home faces, what's planned next door, HOA dues and what they cover.
Closing cost help, design credits, rate buydowns. I know what each builder is offering this month and what's worth asking for.
Builder contracts are written by the builder. We go through deposits, timelines, and what happens if dates move.
An independent inspector before drywall and again before closing, so problems get fixed while they're easy to fix.
The final walkthrough, then the warranty list before your first year is up.
A recent client
She wanted a brand-new home and needed down payment assistance to get there. We got her approved for an Ohio down payment assistance program that works on new construction, negotiated $7,000 of her closing costs covered, and she walked into closing owning a brand-new home for less than $5,000.
One client's experience. Every buyer's situation, program eligibility and builder offer is different, and nothing here is a promise of a specific result.
