order of magnitude number for you to work with (for a home at the upper level of your range) would be around $4500 for taxes, bond and annual maintenance...(and plan on paying a monthly amenity fee of around $150)..

BTW - I found that Triple A had the best homeowner and auto combo insurance rates a couple of years ago when I shopped around

good luck
We moved here in Feb and were told we cannot get the homestead exemption till next January
