💵What this unit actually costs per month

$6,338/mo all-in
20% down at 7.4% (this week's 30-year average) · mortgage + tax + insurance + HOA
Mortgage principal & interest$4,404
Property tax (1.30% effective)$861
Insurance (estimate)$50
HOA dues$1,023
Total monthly$6,338
Rough cash to close$178,875

31% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $61,380 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $5,315.

Financing type

FHA approval has expired on this project. An FHA buyer cannot use it today, and the fact that it once qualified and then stopped is worth asking the board about. Plan on a conventional loan — 5% down at the very least.

Minimum realistic down payment here: 5% · verify on HUD's lookup

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.
