Before you buy
Taylor Morrison describes separate amenity campuses for Cassia, Esplanade and The Towns, and several are still planned or under construction. Ask which amenities your neighborhood can use and when the planned ones are expected to open.
Taylor Morrison's Skye Ranch page does not list HOA dues or district assessments. Ask the sales team for both, in writing, for the specific homesite, and look for any assessment that appears on the property tax bill.
Taylor Morrison advertises loan programs through its own lender, Taylor Morrison Home Funding. Compare that offer with a loan estimate from your own lender before you decide, and compare the full package, not just the rate.
Ask for the flood zone of the exact homesite and get an insurance quote before you sign. Two homes in the same community can land in different zones, and the difference shows up in your monthly cost.
Builders use their own purchase contracts, not the standard Florida form. Read the deposit terms, the completion date language and what happens if the builder's timeline slips. On a large deposit, have a real estate attorney review it.
