8.08% APR FHA example
Default rate: Freddie Mac's weekly national average, week of Oct 8, 2026.
Est. True Monthly at $315,000
$3,029/mo+ HOA
FHA example: 5% down, 30-year fixed, 8.08% APR (7.40% rate). Includes estimated tax, insurance and mortgage insurance. Not a loan offer.
How this estimate is built. Example loan: FHA 30-year fixed rate. Price $315,000 (the lowest price the builder publishes). Down payment 5% ($15,750). Loan amount $304,487, which includes FHA's 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance premium ($5,237) added to the loan. APR 8.08%, interest rate 7.40%.
Payments: 360 monthly payments of $2,108.21 for principal and interest, plus FHA annual mortgage insurance of $124.16 a month in year 1. The mortgage insurance is recalculated each year, gets slightly smaller as the loan is paid down, and lasts the life of the loan at this down payment. Year 1 loan payment: $2,232.37.
The rest of Est. True Monthly is estimates, not loan terms: property tax $439, home insurance $292 and windstorm insurance $66 a month. Property tax applies the homestead exemption: $140,000 off school district tax ($5,000 off South Texas ISD). HOA dues are not published by the builder and are not included. Your lender sets escrow from the real tax bill and your insurance quote, so your actual payment will be different, and it often rises in year 2 when a new home is taxed at full value.
Assumptions: no discount points, no lender fees and no prepaid interest; if you pay them, your APR will be higher: with a typical 1% lender fee ($2,993), this example's APR would be about 8.18%. The rate is Freddie Mac's weekly national average for 30-year fixed loans for the week of October 8, 2026 (borrower profile: 20% down, good to excellent credit); your rate depends on your credit, down payment, loan type and lender. FHA loans need at least 3.5% down and a base loan at or under the 2026 FHA limit of $541,287 in Hidalgo, Cameron, Starr and Willacy counties.
This is an estimate, not a loan offer, a rate quote or a commitment to lend. Amy Herrera is a real estate sales agent with RE/MAX Elite, not a lender or loan originator. Ask a lender for a Loan Estimate.

Homestead exemption. A homeowner gets $140,000 off school district tax ($5,000 off South Texas ISD), so it mostly lowers the Harlingen CISD part of the bill. How to file.
City limits. This stack assumes the home is inside Harlingen city limits and in Harlingen CISD. Outside city limits there is no city tax; confirm both for the exact lot with the appraisal district.
Year 1 is different. A new home is often taxed on the lot in its first year, so the bill usually rises in year 2. Protesting an appraisal.

Questions about Sun Country Phase 3
What is the property tax rate in Sun Country Phase 3?
The 2025 combined rate is 2.079746 per $100 of value: Cameron County 0.424393, South Texas ISD 0.0492, Port of Harlingen 0.01911, City of Harlingen 0.52606, Harlingen CISD 0.9182 and Drainage District #5 0.142783. Homeowners who live in the home can claim the homestead exemption: $140,000 off school district tax ($5,000 off South Texas ISD). This assumes the home is inside Harlingen city limits and in Harlingen CISD; confirm both for the exact lot.
Does Sun Country Phase 3 have a PID or MUD?
U R Home Texas does not publish one. Texas sellers must give a notice when a property is in a public improvement district or a municipal utility district; ask the title company for it before you sign.
Is there an HOA in Sun Country Phase 3, and how much are the dues?
Not published by the builder. Ask the builder for the HOA budget, the resale certificate and the deed restrictions, which can also limit leasing.
Do I need my own agent to buy in Sun Country Phase 3?
No, but the sales team at the model home works for U R Home Texas. A buyer's agent works for you: Amy can register you before your first visit, compare communities, negotiate incentives and walk you through the builder's contract. In many new-home purchases the builder pays the buyer's agent. Your written buyer agreement states Amy's services, how she is paid and by whom. Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable.
Why might my first-year tax bill be lower than this estimate?
Texas taxes property on its January 1 status. A home finished during the year is often taxed on the lot or a partly built house for that first year, so the first bill can be much lower and the escrow payment usually rises in year 2 when the home is taxed at full value. Est. True Monthly uses the full-value tax on purpose.
