About your monthly payment

This is a rough estimate to help you plan. It is not a quote, an appraisal or tax advice. Angela can give you real numbers for your home.

Understand your numbers

What goes into your payment

Principal and interest

The loan itself. Principal pays down what you owe. Interest is the cost of borrowing.

Property tax

In California it starts around 1% of the price, plus local fees. Many areas end up near 1.1 to 1.25%.

Home insurance

Required by the lender. Prices have gone up in California, so get a quote early.

Mortgage insurance

If you put less than 20% down, most loans add this until you build up equity.

HOA

Condos, townhomes and some neighborhoods have a monthly fee. Some newer areas also have extra tax called Mello-Roos.

Tips

Good to know

Ask about the tax rate

Two homes at the same price can have very different tax bills. Ask for the real rate on the home you like.

Get insurance quotes first

In some areas, insurance is hard to get. Check before you make an offer.

Compare loan types

FHA, VA and regular loans all have different costs. A loan officer can show you side by side.

Questions

Questions people ask

Is the rate in the calculator real?

No, it's just a starting point. Rates change daily. Call for today's rate.

Why is my payment higher than the ad I saw?

Most ads only show principal and interest. Taxes, insurance and HOA can add hundreds a month.

Can I lower my payment?

A bigger down payment, a lower rate, or a longer loan can help. So can buying points. Ask us to run the options.
