Frequently Asked Questions
How much house can I afford in Orange County?
A good starting point is a monthly payment that fits comfortably in your budget, usually around 28 to 32 percent of your gross monthly income going to housing. Try different price points in the calculator above and see which total payment feels right. I am happy to walk through your numbers with a trusted local lender before you ever tour a home.
What is included in a monthly mortgage payment?
Your full monthly payment is often called PITI: principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance. In Orange County you may also add HOA dues, and if you put less than 20 percent down, mortgage insurance. The calculator above rolls these into one number so you can see the real cost.
How do I lower my monthly payment?
The biggest levers are a larger down payment, a lower interest rate, or a longer loan term. Shopping insurance and choosing a home with lower property taxes or no HOA can also make a real difference. I can introduce you to lenders who compete for your loan so you actually get a strong rate.
