These are estimates typical for a 1,075 sq ft inland Polk County home built in 1953. Homeowners insurance reflects the older construction vintage and standard inland wind tier. Electricity costs are moderated by the smaller living area, while lawn service reflects the roughly 9,400 sq ft lot. No pool service applies.

Seller’s current MLS tax bill is $41/mo (2023)— it reflects the prior owner’s capped assessment and likely won’t apply to you. We estimate a new buyer’s taxes on the purchase price instead.
