Value is in the Knowledge

Typically I don't write too much strictly about dollars and cents but found this article about Real Estate Taxes with a town by town breakdown. This is very beneficial information for anyone looking at moving and purchasing a home in Massachusetts. The great mortgage gods help you to believe that your monthly payments will be the same for 30 years, while that may be accurate on your mortgage, they tend to help you ignore your real estate taxes because those will go up and that doesn't help them close the deal on your loan. Here's a link with the current tax information which could help you in deciding whether you should go to the town you love or a nearby town with a lower tax base.
