Ok, a real life example of a misguided home search

What is my problem with property taxes?

Three listings (all current as of the publish date).

All listed between $865,000-900,000.

What could go wrong?

Home 1

70 Seven Bridges Rd. Listed at $869,000.

Taxes: $22,426

Home 2

501 Quaker Rd. Listed at $898,000.

Taxes: $21,699

Home 3

81 Bischoff Ave. Listed at $889,000.

Taxes: $14,696

So how do these homes compare?

And what do we find? 81 Bischoff Ave would cost $600 less PER MONTH than the other houses. Even though it has the the second highest price!

So now what?
