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 - $365K price, 10% down ($36,500), 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.
Saratoga County runs among the lower effective property-tax rates in the Capital Region - roughly 1.4%–1.7% of value a year. On a $365K home that's about $426–$517/mo. Your exact bill depends on the school district and exemptions like STAR and veterans' credits.
Malta is served primarily by the Ballston Spa & Saratoga Springs 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 Saratoga County, and SONYMA first-time-buyer loans with down-payment assistance. First-time buyer? He'll line up every credit you're eligible for.
Brian and his team were awesome and really helped me with a pretty complicated process. Can’t recommend them enough!

I highly recommend Brian. He consistently provides a five-star mortgage experience for my clients - quick response and deep knowledge.
