Brian's Insider Comparison Analysis

New Home Consultant & Buyer Advocate

When choosing between The Woodlands and Towne Lake, looking solely at starting prices is a mistake. A home in The Woodlands with an effective tax rate of 2.4% can produce a very different monthly payment stack compared to Towne Lake at 3.6%. Always evaluate the complete payment stack (P&I + MUD tax + HOA + Insurance) before placing earnest money.
