This figure counts taxes, government fees and agent commissions only. It excludes operating costs: insurance, HOA or service charge, property management, maintenance and vacancy. Those are building-level commercial terms rather than public record, so they cannot carry a primary source, and this product does not print numbers it cannot cite.

Permitting & construction timelines

Construction timeline benchmark (South region, 2025): permit → start 1.5 mo single-family / 2.8 mo multifamily; start → completion 6.6 mo / 14.7 mo.
