Estimates use a 6.65% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.

By bedroom — raw Census medians for current renters, not adjusted to today’s asking rents:
Estimate (2023 ACS 5-year data), based on Census tract data, widened until there were enough renting households to measure, so it describes a larger area than Southbrook Court Condo No 1 alone. Adjusted toward what is being asked today using HUD Fair Market Rents, because the Census figure counts every household already renting — including long-tenured ones paying below current market. Rent figures are rounded to the nearest $25 — the underlying estimates are not precise enough to read closer than that. The ownership figure is the monthly payment only: it excludes maintenance and closing costs, and it doesn't count the equity a payment builds. Renting has no down payment. Both are estimates, not quotes.
