Average monthly mortgage cost of the MB?
Posted by GeauxTime9 on 10/24/16 at 7:45 am10
What do y'all pay a month in mortgage? I am selling a current home which I was paying around $1,260 a month. Getting married and currently have an offer on a home in which we will owe about $1,700-1,800. We can afford the home, just makes me a bit nervous jumping up +$500.

About 8 percent of pretax income.

19% of after-tax income

We are at about 15% pre-tax income. But it is Texas and most of that is property tax (no income tax). We went from a sub 1k per month note to nearly 2k a month in Texas . Was a hard pill to swallow (although income went up significantly in the years since purchasing the first house). Other hard pill to swallow was our note going up another 200 per month due to an escrow error by the bank. Thank God my wife is getting raises .

PITI is 11.8% of monthly pretax income.
That is the way to look at it... Actual cost isn't much of a figure... you need to look at affordability.
Is the new house larger in size? If so, keep in mind utility costs may go up as well, unless it is much better energy efficient.
If you and your new wife make about the same amount of money, then doubling your income while only going up around 50% in house cost doesn't seem terrible.

$1800 for just the mortgage or does that include any PMI, homeowners insurance and property taxes?

$1800 is everything. I ran the math and I'm about 16% monthly pretax income.
