    What is included in the monthly payment?

    Principal and interest, property tax, homeowners insurance, HOA dues if any, and private mortgage insurance (PMI) when the down payment is under 20%.

    What property tax rate should I use in New Jersey?

    New Jersey's average effective property tax rate is a little over 2% of value, but it varies widely by town. Each town page and Joe's listing details give the actual annual taxes for a specific home.

    How much do I need for closing costs?

    This calculator estimates closing costs at 2.5% of the price. Actual costs depend on your lender, title insurance, attorney and prepaid taxes and insurance.

    How much house can I afford?

    Lenders commonly look for total housing costs near 28% of gross monthly income and total debts near 36%, though many loan programs allow more. Use the affordability tab, then talk with a lender for a pre-approval.
