Brian's Insider Comparison Analysis

New Home Consultant & Buyer Advocate

When choosing between Kresston and The Woodlands Hills, looking solely at starting prices is a mistake. A home in Kresston with an effective tax rate of 3.08% can produce a very different monthly payment stack compared to The Woodlands Hills at 3.32%. Always evaluate the complete payment stack (P&I + MUD tax + HOA + Insurance) before placing earnest money.
