Affordability Analysis for $350,000

Putting 3% down is a common option for first-time buyers. However, this will trigger Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which we estimate in the 'Insurance' section.

When planning for a home at this price point, it is critical to calculate not just the mortgage, but the "Unrecoverable Costs" of homeownership: property taxes, HOA fees, and maintenance (usually 1% of home value per year).
