It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. For reference, the current tax on record (MLS) is about $3,231/yr — that reflects the present owner's assessment, which may differ from yours. Confirm every figure with a licensed lender.

Recent nearby sales of similar homes

This home appears priced above recent comparable sales (which imply about $220,391–$303,155 by sold price per square foot). That can mean room to negotiate — or that it offers something the comps don't. Worth talking through.
