Estimate Your Maximum Home Price with Our Calculator
The calculator below will estimate the loan amount based on the monthly payment.
In contrast to other online calculators, this conventional loan
calculator will estimate your down payment and sales price based on
a mortgage payment.
Each day, loan officers are tasked with pre-qualifying potential
home buyers. However, determining the maximum sales price for a
hypothetical home is challenging. Loan officers make educated
predictions about property taxes and homeowner's insurance. Along
with property taxes and homeowner's insurance, the monthly loan
payment may include private mortgage insurance, homeowner's
association dues, and even flood or earthquake insurance.
When a loan officer makes an informed estimate about a house buyer's
creditworthiness, he or she is making an educated guess.
Step (1) Enter the proposed mortgage payment.
Step (2) Choose the down payment percentage.
Step (3) Using the drop-down box, choose the mortgage payment extras, such as taxes and insurance.
Step (4) Determine the loan's interest rate and term.
That is all! The calculator will provide an estimate of the purchase price and down payment.
Along with the down payment, purchasers must pay closing and prepayment charges. This calculator does not take those expenditures into account.
Are you strapped for cash?
A conventional loan requires a minimum down payment of 3% for the Conventional 97 loan and HomeReady mortgage programs. If you do not satisfy the requirements for the 3% down payment programs, the minimum down payment is 5%.
Seller concessions on conventional loans
For down payments of less than 10%, home sellers may pay the
buyer's closing and prepayment charges up to 3% of the sales
price.
Home sellers are permitted to contribute up to 6% of the
purchase price in exchange for down payments ranging from 10% to
25% on a standard mortgage.
Cosigners
Cosigners are permitted on a conventional mortgages. Utilizing a cosigner may assist in meeting the debt-to-income ratio requirements or help you reach a higher sales price. Needless to say, the cosigner's credit must be acceptable.
