No. If you have larger mortgage payments and higher property taxes, your income tax bill is likely to go down–perhaps offsetting the higher real estate taxes you will pay on the more expensive property. This is because mortgage interest and property taxes are deductible from your federal income tax and most state income taxes. Consult an accountant for an accurate estimate of how much you might be able to deduct.
