The real monthly cost of owning in Dallas
Take the median $360,000 home with 20% down at today’s 7.03% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $1,922/month. Georgia taxes 40% of fair market value: at Paulding County’s typical unincorporated millage of 21.98 mills, the median home’s bill is roughly $3,120/year ($260/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 $2,182/month to own the median Dallas home.

Dallas: the case for and against
What works in Dallas’s favor
- prices run 10% below the statewide median in our coverage
- homes move quickly (median 43 days listed), so well-priced homes get competition
- 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
- Georgia has a flat state income tax (about 5%, scheduled to keep stepping down), which Florida does not
