Real, sourced numbers on home values and state income tax, side by side with Central Florida. Not a sales pitch, just the actual math, so you can see for yourself before you talk to us.
A quick note before you dive in. These numbers are general and illustrative, pulled from public sources (cited at the bottom of this page) as of mid-2026. They are not an appraisal of any specific property, not a quote, and not tax or financial advice. Home values shift by neighborhood and month, and your own tax situation depends on your income, deductions, and filing details. Use this to get an honest general sense of the picture, then talk to us (or your CPA, for the tax side) for numbers specific to you.
Pick your state, pick a Central Florida area to compare against, and add your own numbers where you have them for a more accurate picture.
These figures are a starting point for your own conversation with us or a CPA, not a projection or a promise. Nothing here is tax, investment, or legal advice.

Sourced from the Zillow Home Value Index and the Tax Foundation, as of mid-2026. See "Where This Data Comes From" below for details.
The Zillow Home Value Index (ZHVI), a smoothed measure of typical home values for the 35th to 65th percentile of homes in a given area. Pulled mid-2026. Zillow updates this monthly, so current figures may have moved since.
The Tax Foundation's 2026 state individual income tax rate data. Top marginal rates are shown, meaning the rate on the highest slice of income, not necessarily your effective (actual average) rate. Some states listed, like Massachusetts and Connecticut, only apply their top rate above a high income threshold.
We'd rather you trust the numbers because you can see where they came from, not because we said so. If anything here looks out of date, tell us, we'll fix it.
This page is a starting point. We're happy to run an actual comparison for your specific home, income, and timeline, no pressure, no obligation.
