Most buyers think their monthly payment will stay the same.
Hereās the truth: On a 30-year fixed loan, your principal and interst typically stay the sameābut your total monthly payment can still change over time due to:
š„¶ Property taxes
š„¶ Homeowners insurance
š„¶ HOA dues (if applicable)
š„¶ Escrow adjustements
Before you start touring homes, you should understand your current paymentāand plan for potential increases over time.
