Affordability Analysis for $400,000
At 7% interest, the bank takes a larger share of your early payments. It takes nearly 20 years to pay down half the principal on a standard schedule.
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).
