Mortgage (principal and interest) $645 · Property tax (est.) $150 · Insurance (est.) $42 = $837/mo
Assumes 20% down; excludes PMI and HOA fees.
| Down payment | Monthly: mortgage, tax, insurance | Income needed |
|---|---|---|

Estimates use a 7.11% 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.
