💵What this unit actually costs per month

$4,037/mo all-in
20% down at 7.4% (this week's 30-year average) · mortgage + tax + insurance + HOA
Mortgage principal & interest$2,908
Property tax (1.30% effective)$569
Insurance (estimate)$50
HOA dues$510
Total monthly$4,037
Rough cash to close$118,125

28% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $30,600 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $3,527.

Financing type

FHA-approved project. A 3.5%-down FHA loan is available here — about $18,375 down instead of $105,000. That also keeps low-down-payment buyers in the pool when you come to sell.

Minimum realistic down payment here: 3.5% · 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.
