Brian's Insider Comparison Analysis

New Home Consultant & Buyer Advocate

When choosing between Anniston and Balmoral, looking solely at starting prices is a mistake. A home in Anniston with an effective tax rate of 3.32% can produce a very different monthly payment stack compared to Balmoral at 3.3%. Always evaluate the complete payment stack (P&I + MUD tax + HOA + Insurance) before placing earnest money.
