Brian's Insider Comparison Analysis

New Home Consultant & Buyer Advocate

When choosing between Audubon and Meridiana, looking solely at starting prices is a mistake. A home in Audubon with an effective tax rate of 3.03% can produce a very different monthly payment stack compared to Meridiana at 3.22%. Always evaluate the complete payment stack (P&I + MUD tax + HOA + Insurance) before placing earnest money.
