The thing for us is we have a NYS pension, which is exempt from NYS income taxes, so staying in NY state even with higher property taxes is offset by the income tax break. Makes it comparable to say Delaware, with lower property taxes, but they will tax the pension.
We successfully challenged our real estate taxes on our current home...went from 12,000+ to about 10,000, less the STAR exemption brings it down to 8,000/year, which is actually pretty good for Westchester. We have a half acre with municipal water and sewer.
Most of what we've seen on-line the taxes are 5,000-7,000, less the STAR.
