That doesn’t make any sense to me. I would think people would look at the total price of the house - sales price, bond, and taxes.

For example, a $500,000 house with no bond and $5,000 in taxes should sell faster than a $475,000 house next door with a $50,000 bond and $5,000 taxes. The first one appears to cost $25,000 more but is actually $25,000 cheaper.

Or do people look just at the sales price?
My guess is many people just look at the sale price and don't figure out the whole package. It's not much different from those that pick the cheapest airfare and ignore the total cost----like $35-80 extra for a seat, $45 for each bag, $50 for a pilot, $70 for engines, etc.
