💵What this unit actually costs per month

$4,605/mo all-in
20% down at 7.4% (this week's 30-year average) · mortgage + tax + insurance + HOA
Mortgage principal & interest$3,318
Property tax (1.30% effective)$649
Insurance (estimate)$50
HOA dues$588
Total monthly$4,605
Rough cash to close$134,775

Rate is the Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year average for the week of 2026-10-08 — a national survey figure, not a quote. Tax, insurance and closing costs are estimates; your own Loan Estimate is the real number.
