Everyone’s stressing about interest rates…
But the truth?
They’re just one piece of the puzzle.
Here are 3 numbers that could impact your monthly payment way more than you think:
1️⃣ Purchase Price – Obvious, but every $10K makes a difference
2️⃣ Property Taxes – Vary wildly by neighborhood in [Your Area]
3️⃣ HOA Fees – That cute condo with the pool? It might come with $350/month dues
When you look at the big picture, a slightly higher rate might not hurt as much as a sky-high HOA or overpaying for the zip code.
Plus… local tip: 🏡
In this market, some areas are holding value while others are seeing small price drops, and knowing where to look can save you thousands.
