Important Considerations:
- This analysis is based on your estimates. Actual market values, interest rates, transaction costs, and ongoing expenses can vary.
- Moving involves significant non-financial factors: lifestyle changes, neighborhood, schools, commute, space utility, and emotional aspects. These should be weighed alongside the financial analysis.
- Future changes in property taxes, insurance rates, utility costs, and maintenance needs are not projected here and can impact long-term costs.
- It is highly recommended to consult with qualified professionals such as a real estate agent, mortgage advisor, and financial planner before making any significant housing decisions. This tool is for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
