One of biggest things to consider when you are purchasing the cost of home ownership. Not only to you have to factor in the home price, you also need to factor in the property taxes. In the Danbury area, both the home prices & taxes vary town by town. The difference of few miles can either effect your payment by a few hundred or a few thousand dollars a month.
I am going to compare a newer 3000 square foot colonial in a upscale newer neighborhood on about an acre of land. All of this information has been gathered through the MLS.
