How much is your housing per month? - Page 6

I agree that there ARE places where the extra $$$$$$$ are worth it if you can swing it

[Purple*Lotus]

$420 a month for rent.

We rent a modest house (modest meaning small ). It is in a nice, family neighborhood. We have been here for about 3 years now, but if we ever can get pregnant, we would probably need to move because we don't have much space here.

$2500

But that includes property tax & PMI for at least another year - we're working hard to get it off though!

We live in the county in our state with the highest property taxes - yay us. Our little community is called the "cash cow" of our mostly rural county because of the large amount of houses and property. PITI we're just under $2100/mo and that is with a 6% fixed rate mortgage.

We pay $650 a month in rent.
We live in central Alabama in a small college town. Our house is 2 bed 2 bath, really old(character), big back yard, and walking distance to most everything including the park.
Most places our size are going for much more now, but we have lived here for about 5 almost 6 years and they have only raised the rent once. When we moved in, in 2002, it was $550 a month.

We are looking to buy in a couple of years and want our mortgage, tax and insurance to be at or less than what we are paying now. We can't afford anything more.
We plan to stay here till we buy. Would like to buy this house.

$1922 including PMI and property taxes. Yuck!

[AnalogWife]

$867 incl. taxes and insurance. We live in a small Northeastern city, we bought a dump for $149k which we are fixing up. The city gave us $30k for a down payment.

Well, as you can see by my "location," I live where it's expensive... mortgage, home equity loan, and maintenance (pays for things like the doormen's salaries... crazy to think every now and then that I live in a DOORMAN BUILDING!) About $3K/month.

[RoadWorkAhead]

Our mortgage, includ. taxes and insurance (With riders for flood, etc. b/c of location) is 608.85/month on a 30 yr. mortgage, but we've accumulated equity due to market changes in excess of 50k now, so I'm thrilled with it. We hope to have it paid off in the next 5 years and use it as rental property since we're near to campus in a big college town.

We pay $725 mortgage with taxes/insurance + $125 assoc. due. We have a nice almost 1000 sq foot 2bed/1bath condo with a huge fenced back yard. Although it's a lower middle class neighborhood, it is very safe and clean and mostly young families or retired citizens.
