🏡 Purchase Example: Buying a $448,322 Home in Nevada

Using the state's median home price of $448,322, a 20% down payment, and a 6.5% 30-year fixed rate, here is the complete picture of what it costs to buy in Nevada:

Cost Component	Amount
Home Price	$448,322
Down Payment (20%)	$89,664
Loan Amount	$358,658
Estimated Closing Costs (3.5%)	$15,691
Total Cash Needed at Closing	$105,355

Monthly Payment (20% Down)

Item	Monthly
Principal & Interest	$2,267
Property Taxes (0.60%)	$224
Homeowners Insurance	$86
PMI (not needed at 20% down)	$0
Total Monthly Payment	$2,577

Annual income needed (28% DTI): $111,000/yr

PMI Scenario: What If You Put Only 10% Down?

With a 10% down payment ($44,832), you'd have a loan of $403,490 and would need to pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) at roughly 0.7% of the loan annually:

Item	10% Down	20% Down (savings)
Principal & Interest	$2,550	$2,267
Monthly PMI	$235	$0
Total PITI+PMI	$3,096	$2,577

The lower down payment costs you an extra $519/month (P&I + PMI). You would need $133,000/yr to qualify under the 28% DTI rule. PMI can typically be canceled once you reach 20% equity.

First-year interest: In year one, $23,195 of your payments go to interest alone. Over the full 30-year term, you'll pay $457,448 in total interest.
