BEFORE YOU CHOOSE A LOAN
Compare the unit and the building
A condo budget includes more than the advertised dues. Request the resale certificate, association budget, reserve study and assessment history before deciding how much cash to commit. Ask your lender to review the project early; approval for a borrower does not establish eligibility for every building.
Does a smaller condo always mean a smaller payment?
Not necessarily. Compare dues, parking charges, insurance and assessments alongside the loan payment. A lower purchase price can come with higher ongoing costs.
MAKE IT YOURS
Does the monthly cost fit your life?
Put an actual Seattle property alongside your comfort limit. Use a lender estimate for principal, interest and mortgage insurance; add the costs it may leave out.
Fill in all six amounts to see the comparison. Enter 0 only for costs that do not apply.
Planning only. This does not calculate a mortgage payment or determine approval. Estimates can change. These inputs stay in this page and are not submitted or saved.
ALREADY OWN IN SEATTLE?
Your next move might be staying put.
Before refinancing a condo, confirm project eligibility and whether an assessment changes your cash reserves.
The sample uses fictional numbers. A home-value estimate is not an appraisal, and equity is not automatically available to borrow.
