Sources and what is left out
- Rate: 7.32% 30-year fixed, 6.68% 15-year fixed, Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS), week of 10/22/2026 (latest available; updated weekly). Your rate will differ. You can change it above.
- Property tax: the city's typical total rate from the county rate book (FY 2025-26 rates, checked 10/15/2026) for the cities listed. "Other city (1% base only)" uses California's 1% base rate only, so it likely understates the tax.
- PMI: only under 20% down. We use the midpoint of the $30 to $70 a month per $100,000 borrowed range from Freddie Mac, My Home: Breaking down PMI. Your lender sets the real amount.
- Homeowners insurance: NAIC, Dwelling Fire, Homeowners Owner-Occupied, and Homeowners Tenant and Condominium/Cooperative Unit Owner's Insurance Report: Data for 2023 (July 2026), Table 4, California, HO-3. Statewide average, not a quote. Change it if you have a quote.
- HOA and Mello-Roos: only the amounts you enter.
- Not included: closing costs, utilities and maintenance.
