The real monthly cost of owning in Suwanee
Take the median $603,000 home with 20% down at today’s 6.71% 30-year rate: principal and interest run about $3,116/month. Georgia taxes 40% of fair market value: at Gwinnett County’s typical unincorporated millage of 27.10 mills, the median home’s bill is roughly $6,482/year ($540/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 $3,656/month to own the median Suwanee home.

What to plan for
- prices run 50% above the statewide median in our coverage
- Georgia has a flat state income tax (about 5%, scheduled to keep stepping down), which Florida does not
