Check out all the handy dandy online calculators available for those looking to purchase a home:
The MSN Home Affordability Calculator (how much home can you afford to buy?)
This calculator allows you to compare the costs of renting vs buying a home.
This calculator will show you the monthly payments you would need to make depending on how much you think you want to spend on a house. Note that it includes what we call PITI (pity) Principal, Interest, Taxes and Insurance which will give you a much more accurate idea of what you’ll be paying each month on a mortgage. Note that it does NOT include any Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) or HOA fees – you’ll have to add those in on your own.
I love helping first time home buyers so if you have any questions or would like help viewing an available home please don’t hesitate to contact me at 303.887.1883 or beth@bethskinner.com.
