New Homes in Southfork Ranch and Rexville Ranch Estates, Sealy, TX

LOW TAX RATE. Sounds good—but why does it really matter when you're buying a home?

Because the purchase price isn't the only number that affects what you'll pay each month. Property tax is included in your mortgage, so a higher property tax means a higher monthly payment and lower purchase price you will qualify for.

Property taxes can make a meaningful difference in your overall housing payment. Two similarly priced homes in two different communities can have very different monthly costs because of their tax rates.

That's why I encourage my buyers to compare the whole picture, not just the price of the home.

At both of our First America Homes acreage communities in Sealy—Southfork Ranch and Rexville Ranch Estates:

• Approximately 1.61% property tax rate
• No MUD tax
• Acreage homesites
• Sealy ISD
• About 3 miles from I-10

When you're comparing homes, don't just ask:

“What's the price?”

Also ask:

“What's the tax rate?”

It may change the way you look at your choices.

Some days, the view says it all.

Blue Texas sky, white puffy clouds, and a little more room to breathe.

This is one of the things I love about Southfork Ranch and Rexville Ranch Estates in Sealy—the feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle, while still being just about 3 miles from I-10.

Sometimes home isn't just about the house.

It's about how you feel when you get there. 🤍

Behind the Build with Dea

🏡 BEHIND THE BUILD

You don't have to know exactly what you want before you walk through my door.

People sometimes tell me, “We're just looking. We don't really know what we want yet.”

Perfect. That's where we start.

I usually ask about how you live—not just how many bedrooms you need.

Do you want everything on one floor?
Do grown kids or grandkids visit?
Do you work from home?
Do you entertain?
Do you want neighbors nearby—or SPACE around you?

Those answers tell me much more than “I need 4 bedrooms.”

My job isn't to sell you the first house you walk into. It's to help you figure out what actually fits your life.

What's one thing your next home absolutely MUST have?

Would this kitchen work for you?

I walked into 1338 Westfork and thought this was too good not to share.

The kitchen opens right into the family room, with a large island, plenty of workspace and windows bringing in natural light—and beyond those windows is something you don't get in every neighborhood:

Room to breathe.

This brand-new Madison at Southfork Ranch is nearly ready.

🏡 $574,832 | Approx. 30-day closing

3 bedrooms + study | 2 baths | single story | 3-car garage | 1-acre homesite

And with a 1.61% property tax rate and no MUD tax, Southfork Ranch offers something worth comparing when you're looking at new homes in the area.

Would you rather have

A) a bigger house on a small lot or B) a home like this with an acre?

I'm curious—A or B?

And if B is your answer, message me. I'd love to show you this one.

3 things people don’t realize about living on an acre in Sealy…

An acre feels private without feeling isolated. You get real space between you and the neighbors, room to sit outside, garden, entertain, or let the dog run—but you’re still only a few miles from I-10 and Sealy conveniences.

You notice the quiet more than you expect. Less traffic passing the house, fewer neighboring homes right outside your windows, darker evenings, and more room to actually enjoy being outdoors. It can feel like country living without moving way out into the country.

The acre changes how you use your home. People tend to think about the bigger yard, but they don’t always picture what that space does: a workshop, pool, garden, firepit, play area for grandkids, outdoor kitchen, or simply leaving some of it open.

At Rexville, the ability to have horses or FFA animals with HOA approval adds another possibility

What would YOU do with an acre?
