into consideration. Is there a ball park number you could add to this as a guess for what you’d actually be paying a month? i.e. with insurance and etc. Like $400-$500? or does it vary that greatly with location?
Taxes and insurance will vary based on home size and value, and where you live. Where my parents live, they pay about $8000 a year in taxes on a $500,000 home. Where I live, taxes on a home of the same value would be about $4000.
First look at a few homes in your area to get an idea of taxes on a range of home values – this amount should be listed at most realtor websites. To get an estimate on insurance, call a local agent and ask for a rough estimate based on the value of your belongings and the home size, location, and material (brick, wood, stucco, etc). This may vary also based on your credit score once you get to the insurance buying stage.
If you have to also pay mortgage insurance (putting less than 20% down on a home), that also can vary, but estimate $150-200/mo.
