You also need to look at the cost of fees to transfer real estate. Transfer fees in MD are brutal compared to NC.

When you're looking for homes make sure you're not within 2 miles of a pig farm. I don't know how many pig farms there are in that area but you will know it if you're too close.

Our new house is about 4 miles away from the closest pig farm and we've only smelled country air one time in 18 months.
