★ What stands out · Monthly cost

A typical home costs about the same each month

A typical home in each town, bought with 20% down at 6.3% for 30 years, plus property tax at the town’s own rate and insurance. Change the numbers to fit you.

Bergman$800/mo
Typical home $144K (Census) · tax rate 0.37% · or rent about $950/mo · Housing →
Tull$910/mo
Typical home $160K (Census) · tax rate 0.54% · or rent about $614/mo · Housing →

The difference: $110 a month, about $1,300 a year, between Tull and Bergman.

Estimates, not a quote: your price, rate, tax bill and insurance will differ. Tax rate = the Census median tax bill over the median home value.
