How much do you all pay for your house - mortgage, utilities, etc

[celiboy]

For me my mortgage is 320, utilities average 220, and property taxes are about 220 as well so about 760 a month. I have been here over 3 years and have only had to fix my dishwasher so nothing on maintenance really.........

Mortgage of $320 eh? I'd venture to guess that you don't live in California.

Well it was 700ish a few months back but it came for renewal and I dumped all my savings against it as I hate any kind of debt. You can buy a very nice house up here for 200,000 Canadian

Or in the NY area...

But just to give you some comparison's. I rent it's $2115 a month. Utils are around $350. I live in a NYC suburb (jersey shore) - Train ticket is $280 a month on top of that..

Mortgage $900
Utilities (water, sewer, electric) $500
Insurance - $2k per year
Taxes - $8k per year

I do my own yard work or that would add another $150 a month.

$1750 mortgage
~350 for utilities
no real maintenance to speak of.

Holy God. I'd be broke in a heartbeat.

Monthly mortgage 1400 sq. ft. home - $900
Water - $40 on average
Electricity & gas - $100 or so, rates fluctuate a lot

How about a rough description of what you guys are getting for that payment?

1st mtge - $800
2nd mtge - $250 (HELOC fully utilized)
HOA (bleh) - $210
Utilities - $50
Taxes - $225 (about $2,700 per year)
Insurance - included in HOA (fire and earthquake, dont have personal property coverage)

So about $1,500/mo. This is for a 1 bedroom, 800 square foot condo. California rules.

Mortgage $900
Taxes&insurance $200
Utilities $350

2100 sqft house, brand new so no maintenance.

The maintenance people refer to is not like upkeep on stuff breaking but actual costs assosciated to living in a development such as landscaping, garbage removal, paving, etc.

Having a new house or an old house wouldnt ever really have an impact on if you do or dont pay maintenance.
