How it works
Buying a median-priced home in Durham. At $410,000 with a 20% down payment, you'd bring $82,000 to closing (plus closing costs) and take out a $328,000 mortgage. At a 6.50% interest rate on a 30-year fixed loan, your monthly principal + interest is roughly $2,073.
Annual costs on top of the loan. North Carolina's average property tax rate is 0.82%, so a median-priced Durham home generates approximately $3,362 in annual property tax (about $280/mo when paid through escrow). Homeowner's insurance in North Carolina averages around $1,300/year.
Total monthly payment (PITI) on the median Durham home works out to about $2,462 per month at current rates, assuming a 20% down payment and no HOA. If you're putting less than 20% down, add PMI to this — typically 0.5–1.5% of the loan balance per year.
Rates change; this is the math, not the offer. Mortgage rates fluctuate daily. Our default of 6.50% is a recent conventional 30-year benchmark — enter today's quoted rate from your lender for the most accurate payment estimate.
