The typical rule of thumb is to put down 20% of the home's price. Some mortgage programs require as little as 3.5%. A larger down payment reduces your loan amount and monthly payment, and eliminates PMI once you reach 20%.
Your loan term is the number of years you have to repay the mortgage. A 30-year term gives you lower monthly payments. A 15-year term saves significant interest over the life of the loan but requires higher monthly payments.
Fixed-rate loans lock in your interest rate for the full loan term — providing stable, predictable payments. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) start lower but can change over time based on market conditions.
Your interest rate is the cost of borrowing money expressed as a percentage. Your actual rate depends on your credit score, down payment, loan type, and current market conditions. This calculator uses today's average as a starting estimate.
Property taxes are assessed by local governments and typically included in your monthly mortgage payment through an escrow account. Rates vary by county and municipality — ask your BPRE agent about typical rates in your target area.
Homeowner's insurance is usually required by lenders and protects your investment against damage or loss. HOA fees apply to certain communities and condos and cover shared amenity maintenance. Both are factored into your total monthly cost.
