For those wondering about the rough estimate of buying an average apartment in Marine View--- here is a very preliminary calculation.
To estimate the monthly mortgage payment for an apartment selling for $450,000, several factors need to be considered:
- Down Payment: Typically 20% ($90,000) is standard, but it can vary.
- Loan Amount: For a 20% down payment, the loan would be $360,000.
- Interest Rate: Current mortgage interest rates for excellent credit (e.g., a 750 credit score) are around 6.5% for a 30-year fixed loan as of late 2024. Rates may vary based on market conditions and lender offers.
- Loan Term: Usually 30 years.
- Property Taxes and Insurance: Varies by location but can add approximately 1.25%-1.5% of the home’s value annually.
Estimated Calculation (Assuming a 20% Down Payment):
- Principal and Interest: For a $360,000 loan at 6.5% interest for 30 years, the formula yields about $2,276 per month.
- Taxes and Insurance: Adding roughly 1.25% annually ($450,000 x 1.25% = $5,625/year or $469/month).
Total Monthly Payment:
Approximately $2,745/month, including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance.
