What Will Your Tax Savings Be By Owning a Home?

September 14, 2014 by Keith Kyle

One of the more frequent questions lenders get when pre-approving a client for a new home is “How much will this new home save me on my21345_Hawthorne_Blvd_#415_bed1 copy tax bill each month”? Many home buyers use the monthly tax savings to offset the increase in housing expense that a new home can bring. The savings can help the buyer to budget for a higher priced home which could make it possible to live in a more desirable neighborhood, possibly reap the benefits of higher property appreciation and help the buyer to have better resale options.

To help illustrate a home buyers potential monthly tax savings, the below chart shows the loan amount, monthly tax savings and how the monthly tax savings could be used to increase purchasing power.

Loan Amount   Monthly Savings Increase in Purchase Power
$250,000 $297 $56,000
$300,000 $356 $67,000
$350,000 $416 $80,000
$400,000 $475 $94,000
$450,000 $534 $103,000
$500,000 $594 $113,000
$550,000 $653 $124,000
$600,000 $712 $137,000
$650,000 $772 $146,000
