💵What this unit actually costs per month
40% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $39,120 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $1,909.
Rate is the Freddie Mac PMMS 30-year average for the week of 2026-08-20 — a national survey figure, not a quote. Tax, insurance and closing costs are estimates; your own Loan Estimate is the real number.

These dues climbed 44% in 5 years — about +7.6%/yr across 86 units of recorded sales, well above inflation. A rise this steep is a leading signal of a special assessment, a drained reserve fund, or an insurance shock. The listing never shows it; the building's documents are where the "why" lives.
