Average home price is $135,000

Nice Starter Home

Good Community

James Franklin comes over for the kids birthday parties

Can see Beaver Stadium from porch

State College is the best place to live. Well at least it was until the Jerry Sandusky scandal. Anyway we like to pretend that never happened around here. The new head coach, James Franklin, who is way better than Bill Obrien is a football god. Go lions!

Mortgage rate and terms

Local PNC branch got us approved and gave us candy!

3 year term

6.1% compounded monthly

$135,000 beginning balance

A buyer’s manta should be to purchase a home that is financially comfortable.

Do your research in finding financial assistance to seek out good interest rates.

In looking for financing, there are various rules of thumb that will help you get an idea of how much home you can afford. We chose a short term, 3years, because we want to reduce the total interest paid in. Most people take home loans out for 30 years!

Objectives

Reduce total interest, hence the short term

Get payment below $3,500 a month

Find ideal down payment that reduces interest, fits comfortable payment range, but doesn’t break the bank.

If you're using FHA financing, your home payment can't exceed 31 percent of your monthly income. But, with some mitigating factors, FHA will let you go higher.

For conventional loans, a safe formula is that home expenses should not exceed 28 percent of your gross monthly income.

Mathematical Model

The average cost of a new home in State College, PA is 135,000.

With our decent credit score PNC Bank would approve us for a 3-year mortgage at 6.1% compounded monthly. However in an attempt to reduce total interest paid we will calculate assuming; no money down, $10,000 down and, $25,000 down.  

We will construct a spread sheet in excel which will show remaining balance per year, total interest paid for each scenario assuming all payments made on time, and payment. Then to find balance per year will we change n accordingly in our excel model.

A continuous repayment is a mortgage loan which is paid by way of a continuous annuity. Generally, settling of mortgages occur over a period of years by a series of annuities with each payment accumulating compound interest from the time the deposit is made till the end of the mortgage life. Present value equations were used to determine the monthly payments for each case.

Calculation

Payment and balance are found from the present value equation;

PV=PMT(

Where PV is present value, PMT is payment, i is rate, and n is number of periods.

N=36, i=0.061, starting PV=135,000

Interest is found using; Interest paid = (i/12)balance.

For the first payment when balance is the full 135,000

interest paid on the first payment= (0.061/12)135,000 = $686.25.

This reflects the highest single interest payment as interest is largely collected in the beginning of a loan, down payments make a big difference. Also not that the interest payment shown above represents the case with a zero down payment.

Zero Down

Payment = $4,113.08

Total interest paid over course of the loan assuming all payments made on time is $13,070.92

Both interest paid and monthly payment are higher than we would like.

As stated in the objectives we seek a payment that is below $3,500 and with zero down the payment is way out of our price range. The above graph appears nearly linear but really the slope increases as the x axis moves to the right. In the latter months more of the monthly payment goes directly to the principle and is not lost to interest. At the end of every month we will be making a constant payment of $4,113.08 to PNC Bank of which a part will be principal and the rest interest. Interest will be reducing by the expiry of the loan term because at any one time the outstanding principal is being offset

Month

$10,000 Down

Payment = $3,808.41

Total Interest = $12,102.71

Payment still a little high

Putting $10,000 down saves us nearly $1000 dollars over the course of the 3 year mortgage.

With $10,000 we get closer to our desired payment but it is still a little high. The above graph helps to show how mortgage lenders collect interest. It is clear that the slope is greater during the early life of the mortgage and slowly reduced in the later months. Since interest is largely collected early it a down payment has a large impact on reducing total interest paid. Here we are able to recover nearly 10% of down payment in interest savings.

$25,000 down

Payment = $3,351.40

Interest $10,650.38

We say nearly an additional $1500 by upping money down from $10,000 to $25,000 and payment is below the desired $3,500

Again notice the same trend line as before. We save $2420.54 in interest by putting $25,000 down compared to not putting any money down. The payment is below our budget constraint. See how the slope slowly decrease from a maximum at month one and a minimum, zero slope, at month 36. Nearly all of the payments go towards principle near the end of the term. Our model doesn’t account for paying over the required monthly payment but that is another great way to reduce interest.

Conclusion

We are going to put the full $25,000 down

This saves us $2,420.54 dollars in interest compared zero down

We wanted our payments below $3,500 and they are $3,351.40

Most interest is paid in the beginning, this is obvious because interest is a function of balance and balance is highest in the beginning. So by putting money down total interest is greatly reduced. In our case we recover nearly 10% of our payment in interest savings.

We like to consider ourselves to be financially responsible people and we hope that we better prepared you for your future financial planning. Thank you.
