It excludes PMI/MIP, the VA funding fee, and closing costs. For reference, the current tax on record (MLS) is about $6,742/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 $293,047–$350,952 by sold price per square foot). That can mean room to negotiate — or that it offers something the comps don't. Worth talking through.
