  2. Enter Home Price: Input the total purchase price of the home you want to buy. This is the listing price or agreed purchase price.

  7. Add Annual Home Insurance: Enter yearly homeowners insurance cost. Usually $800-$2,000 annually depending on home value and location.

  • Extra payments toward principal can shave years off loan and save thousands
  • Property taxes and insurance typically increase over time - budget accordingly
  • Consider total monthly payment (PITI + HOA) should not exceed 28% of gross income

  • Pre-approval helps determine realistic home price range before house hunting
  • Factor in closing costs (2-5% of home price) and moving expenses when budgeting
