What would the monthly payment be on a Cedar Hill new build?
Principal and interest on a $339,490 home with 10% down is $2,115.50 a month at 7.40% (7.481% APR). On a $480,999 home it is $2,997.31 (7.466% APR). Property taxes, insurance, and any HOA or special-district charges come on top of both numbers.
| Price | 10% down | Loan | Rate / APR | Monthly P&I |

| $480,999 | $48,100 | $432,899 | 7.40% / 7.466% | $2,997.31 |
The 7.40% rate is the Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year fixed average for October 8, 2026 (freddiemac.com/pmms), not a quoted rate. Illustrative example only, not a loan offer, rate lock, or commitment to lend. APRs assume a conventional 30-year fixed loan with $1,495 in lender fees, 0 points, 15 days of prepaid interest, and no mortgage insurance. Your Loan Estimate will differ. Steven J.

How does a Cedar Hill new build compare with a resale?
Cedar Hill resale homes sold at a median $341,250 in August 2026, closing at 98.2% of list price in a median 32 days (RPR/NTREIS). Broadmoor Village's top listed price of $339,490 sits just under that median. The comparison is price only. Size, age, lot, and finishes differ, so compare specific homes.
What costs sit outside the listed price of a Cedar Hill new build?
The list price is the starting number. Design center selections, lot premiums, HOA dues, and special-district assessments change what you pay at closing and each month. Ask each builder for a written total with every line item before you compare communities.
- Design center upgrades beyond the base package
- Lot premiums for corner, greenbelt, or larger lots
- HOA dues and any one-time fee at closing
- Special-district or public improvement district charges on the tax bill
