Brian's Insider Comparison Analysis

New Home Consultant & Buyer Advocate

When choosing between Harvest Green and Valley Ranch, looking solely at starting prices is a mistake. A home in Harvest Green with an effective tax rate of 2.93% can produce a very different monthly payment stack compared to Valley Ranch at 3.38%. Always evaluate the complete payment stack (P&I + MUD tax + HOA + Insurance) before placing earnest money.
