💵What this unit actually costs per month

$9,343/mo all-in
20% down at 7.4% (this week's 30-year average) · mortgage + tax + insurance + HOA
Mortgage principal & interest$6,641
Property tax (1.30% effective)$1,299
Insurance (estimate)$50
HOA dues$1,353
Total monthly$9,343
Rough cash to close$269,775

29% of that payment is not the mortgage. The HOA fee alone is $81,180 over five years — money that buys you no equity. A calculator that defaulted the fee to zero would have quoted you $7,990.

Financing type

Not FHA-approved. No 3.5%-down FHA financing on this unit, so the realistic floor is a 5%-down conventional loan ($59,950). Common for small associations and not a defect on its own, but it does remove FHA buyers from your resale pool.

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.
