Higher is a better buy. 50 is "priced about right for what it is". The last step curves the raw advantage onto 0–100, so points stop being one-for-one at the extremes.
💵What this unit actually costs per month
30% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $45,240 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $4,023.
FHA approval has expired on this project. An FHA buyer cannot use it today, and the fact that it once qualified and then stopped is worth asking the board about. Plan on a conventional loan — 5% down at the very least.
