How much are your mtg payments?

[Ticker]

Wow those are amazing numbers.
Out Piti $8,500. San Francisco Bay Area

I think it's really hard to say. When we owned a condo in an expensive area (we didn't own the roof or walls?), our insurance was the same as for a much larger home where we live now. Huge regional differences.

True about regional differences - I think The Street CEO is from the Twin Cities like me though. I do know it can swing by county though so what do I know? I just thought $1,800 sounded high for this area of the country.

I know this is off-topic...

Who do I talk to if I want to find out how much house I can afford for X-dollars. Say, I'd like to pay $2,000 per month for mortgage, taxes, and insurance. I know there are online calculators but I feel like we have unique stuff we have to pay for in our area.

I think the online calculators will answer that question just fine. Obviously, taxes and insurance vary by region but you can get a good idea with a calculator. To get a good local answer, speak to a local lender or realtor.

Mortgage is $1768 prop tax included... plus $190 HOA.
Not bad for a brand new house just under 2000 sq feet in SoCal.

what is PITI ?

[bones72]

Very small town in rural Kansas, PITI is 884, which will be done in 5years. YEAH! PITI stands for Principal, Interest, Taxes, and either Insurance or Idiocy, I never can remember which.

Northern France, just for variety!

Mortgage - 470/month. Insurance - 53/ month. Euros.

Now zero, middle of the country USA, as it is paid off as of last September, but they were $353 plus apprx. $110 for insurance & taxes monthly. We purposely did not buy more house than we could afford on a salary that I could make if something were to happen to Hubster and I had to take on the breadwinner role.
