Better decisions begin
with better numbers.
Buying, selling or planning your next move comes with a lot of questions. These tools are designed to help you explore the numbers, compare scenarios and begin your next real estate conversation better informed.
Don't just guess.
Run the numbers.
Real estate decisions are personal. A mortgage payment that works for one household may not work for another. The right time to buy, sell or move depends on more than a headline or an interest rate. Use these calculators to explore different scenarios and better understand the variables behind your decision.
Six questions.
Six useful starting points.
What monthly payment feels comfortable?
Start with the monthly housing payment you want rather than the maximum purchase price. Then work backward to explore an estimated home-price range based on your financing and property-cost assumptions.
Mortgage Payment
Estimate a monthly housing payment using your purchase price, down payment, interest rate, property taxes, insurance, PMI and HOA assumptions.
Rent vs. Buy
Compare renting with homeownership using assumptions such as rent, purchase price, financing, ownership costs and how long you expect to stay.
Buy Now vs. Buy Later
Model what could happen if you purchase today versus waiting. Adjust future rate, home-price, savings and rent assumptions to see how the scenarios change.
Seller's Net Proceeds
Estimate what may remain from a home sale after accounting for your mortgage payoff and the selling-cost assumptions you enter.
2-1 Buydown Calculator
Explore how a temporary 2-1 interest-rate buydown may change the estimated principal-and-interest payment during the first two years of a mortgage and estimate the funds needed to support the buydown.

2-1 Buydown
Calculator.
See how a temporary 2-1 interest-rate buydown could change the estimated principal-and-interest portion of your payment during the first two years of homeownership.
Run the numbers.
What the first years could look like.
Temporary relief.
Full-rate planning.
A 2-1 temporary buydown typically reduces the effective rate used to calculate the principal-and-interest payment by two percentage points during the first year and by one percentage point during the second year. Beginning in Year 3, the payment is based on the full note rate.
The funds used to cover that temporary payment difference are generally established at closing, subject to the loan program, lender requirements and the terms of the transaction. The borrower should still evaluate whether the full payment fits the long-term budget.
Could a buydown fit
your purchase strategy?
The calculator gives you an estimate. A lender can confirm the loan structure and qualification details, and I can help you evaluate how a seller concession or other negotiation strategy may fit the offer.
