def. no sales tax on houses - but yeah i messed up on the prop taxes. so its about 400 / month for that… bringing the total up to ~1700. my house is a similar size and the bills range, but typically its around 300 / month. winter a lot more, summer a lot less.

assessments are always significantly less than selling prices of houses… and they’re not exactly based on the sales price.

either way you need to drop a good chunk of change every month to afford this mtg.

Don’t forget 8.75% sales tax on 150k is $13125. And I wouldn’t expect much room for negotiating price if there isn’t something seriously wrong with that house. It’s already way cheaper than I’d expect for that size house/lot in Williamsville. Hopefully it’s just the location on Hopkins and the age that’s causing the price to be that low.

And 200 for taxes is wrong. 4500/12 = 375. It’s 375 right now based on their current assessment which I can almost guarantee is lower than what the selling price will be. The new assessment will be based on the selling price so the taxes will go up. $300 for bills seems very low too.

That section of Hopkins (between Dodge and W. Klien) is very busy now. With all the expansion going on to the north I can see Hopkins being extended and becoming 4 lanes in 5-10 years to help alleviate the traffic on Transit. You’ve got Millersport feeding a lot of traffic south from all the new rural developments and tons of people working in Amherst/Williamsville. Being able to feed that traffic to Main down a 4 lane Hopkins makes a lot of sense.
