As of today, mortgage interest rates have dropped below 5%! And many homes qualify for downpayments as low as 3.5%. So, how much home could you realistically afford? I put together the following example home prices and the corresponding payments at 5%with FHA financing at 3.5% down.
Home Price Payment
70K= $364/mo
80K= $416/mo
90K= $468/mo
100K= $520/mo
120K= $624/mo
130k= $676/mo
150k= $781/mo
170K= $885/mo
190k= $989/mo
200k= $1041/mo

Rent vs Owning a Home

Did you know that right now you can own a home for the same payment or LESS than you are currently paying for rent? There are literally thousands of homes for sale in Maricopa county that are in great condition, in family neighborhoods, with square footage as big or bigger than your current rental for under $100,000. Now, that may sound like a lot of money, but with the low interest rates and low down payment programs available right now, you could get a great family home for a payment under $1,000/mo. And right now you can get an FHA loan with a down payment a low as 3 1/2 percent... that's about what you would pay for first month rent and deposit to move into a rental... only you would own your own home! Give me a call or send me an email for a list of properties that meet your criteria. I can take you out any time to show you any home for sale in Maricopa county.
