Brian's Insider Comparison Analysis

New Home Consultant & Buyer Advocate

When choosing between Artavia and Kresston, looking solely at starting prices is a mistake. A home in Artavia with an effective tax rate of 3.15% can produce a very different monthly payment stack compared to Kresston at 3.08%. Always evaluate the complete payment stack (P&I + MUD tax + HOA + Insurance) before placing earnest money.
