Two homes. Same $400,000 price tag. Very different monthly payments. 🏡
In Central Texas, the list price is only part of the story. Property taxes, MUDs, PIDs and HOA dues can all affect what a home actually costs each month—especially with new construction.
For example, a $400,000 home at a 1.8% tax rate has an estimated monthly tax cost of $600. At 2.5%, that rises to $833—about $233 more per month before insurance, HOA dues or a separate PID assessment.
Before you fall in love with a home, ask about the total estimated tax rate, MUD tax, PID assessments and whether estimates reflect the completed home’s value.
