Avoid new areas and their bonds like the plague. The money you save moving to a more northern area can buy A LOT of upgrades. Additional city taxes on a new home run north of 1000 per year on almost any house south of 44. Besides, most upgrades like a driveway or granite are already done in a preowned home. Heck, half the time the furniture is included too.

It ok there are thousands who have zero issues with a bond, and truly living proof there is life and the pursuit of happiness south of 44. Especially if you are in your 40s and 50s, who only want to move once to a forever home. Buying a Forty year old house when you are only 50, will be in need of a great deal of maintenance for 20-30-40 plus years.
Then again those who choose to have newer seem to take bond and taxes with less stress than residents in their 70s-90s. Change can be very difficult as one ages
