Beyond the sticker price - the monthly math, local property taxes, the school districts and the programs that can shrink your out-of-pocket.
*Illustration only - $245K price, 10% down ($24,500), 30-yr fixed at a sample 6.5% rate. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit, loan program and the day you lock. Not a commitment to lend.
Schenectady County runs among the higher effective property-tax rates in the region - roughly 2.4%–3.0% of value a year. On a $245K home that's about $490–$613/mo. Your exact bill depends on the school district and exemptions like STAR and veterans' credits.
Glenville is served primarily by the Scotia-Glenville & Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake districts. The district drives a big part of your tax bill, so it's always worth confirming the exact lines for a specific address.
Brian works with 3% & 5%-down conventional, FHA (3.5% down), zero-down VA, plus USDA in the rural stretches of Schenectady County, and SONYMA first-time-buyer loans with down-payment assistance. First-time buyer? He'll line up every credit you're eligible for.
They stayed on top of the contract the whole time and took care of all the financing. Any questions I had were answered within a short time.
Answered every question, was available at any time, explained everything, and worked around our anxiety. Truly a five-star experience.
Brian was an absolute pleasure to work with. Super responsive, knowledgeable and compassionate. Thanks for all your help!
