How I help buyers narrow it down
- Start with the school campus, since zones follow specific boundaries.
- Drive the commute at rush hour before you fall in love with a house.
- Decide on HOA vs. no HOA early, since it rules whole neighborhoods in or out.
- Compare the total monthly payment, including taxes and HOA, not just the price.
