The real monthly cost of owning in Bonaire
Take the median $370,000 home with 20% down at today’s 6.95% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $1,959/month. Georgia taxes 40% of fair market value: at Houston County’s typical unincorporated millage of 20.17 mills, the median home’s bill is roughly $2,945/year ($245/month) after the standard homestead exemption — county and school exemptions vary and can lower it; inside a city, add the city millage. Georgia homeowners insurance runs well below Florida’s coastal premiums for most of the state; get a quote on the specific address, since roof age and wind exposure still move it. All in, budget on the order of $2,205/month to own the median Bonaire home.

Bonaire: the case for and against
What works in Bonaire’s favor
- homes move quickly (median 37 days listed), so well-priced homes get competition
- 26% of sales are new construction, so builder incentives and warranties are part of the market
- property tax is levied on 40% of value, so the effective rate is lower than the millage suggests, and most counties add homestead exemptions on top
What to plan for
- only about 3.7 months of supply, so choice is limited in the most popular price bands
- Georgia has a flat state income tax (about 5%, scheduled to keep stepping down), which Florida does not
