Brian's Insider Comparison Analysis

New Home Consultant & Buyer Advocate

When choosing between Grand Central Park and The Woodlands, looking solely at starting prices is a mistake. A home in Grand Central Park with an effective tax rate of 2.76% can produce a very different monthly payment stack compared to The Woodlands at 2.4%. Always evaluate the complete payment stack (P&I + MUD tax + HOA + Insurance) before placing earnest money.
