return is high.
But if your town is simply the place you settled in years ago and you have never revisited the numbers, you might be losing tens of thousands of dollars a year for no reason other than habit. When I work with homeowners who start comparing towns, a few thoughts always seem to pop up: • “How is it possible that the nicer town has lower taxes.” • “Wait… I can get more house and pay less every month.” Those reactions come not from sales pressure but from simple math. Your Homework (Light and Simple) I do not need to do this part for you. You are more than capable of checking these comparisons on your own. In fact, doing the homework yourself makes the insights much more powerful and personal. Consider comparing: • Your current town • One town you admire • One town you have never considered but have heard good things about • One town outside your immediate area • “I had no idea taxes varied this much.” • “Why have I never looked into this before.” Look at taxes, home values, and schools. Start with those three. That is enough to spark insight. And when you are ready to move forward, that is when I can help.
