[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]400k in DC to 500k in NYC is a big jump... down. Westchester is nice (I have family in Rye), but have you looked into taxes? DH and I considered a move a couple years ago, but were flabbergasted by the high taxes. For a 1-1.5mm house, you'd probably be looking at 30k+ a year in property tax! [/quote] Or $19k/ year on a $300k house, which is what my aunt and uncle pay in Ossining.[/quote] Sheesh! Yep, that's why I'm asking if OP's budget of 2m for a house factors in the property tax. Is there a luxury car tax there, too, or am I misremembering? [/quote] Not that I'm aware of, but I wouldn't know since I have no first-hand experience with owning a luxury car. :p I am the same poster who posted afterward about living in Westchester. The taxes are why my aunt and uncle are selling and retiring to another country.[/quote]
