Georgia mortgage costs
What a typical Georgia (GA) purchase actually costs each month once property tax, insurance and PMI are included — and how to model your own numbers.
| Median home price | $345,000 |
|---|---|
| 10% down payment | $34,500 |
| Loan amount | $310,500 |
| Principal & interest (30yr @ 6.75%) | $2,014/mo |
| Property tax (0.9%) | $259/mo |
| Homeowners insurance | $175/mo |
| PMI (until 20% equity) | $129/mo |
| Estimated total monthly | $2,577/mo |
Illustrative only, at a 6.75% sample rate with 10% down. Your rate, tax assessment and insurance premium will differ.
What makes Georgia different
Middling costs across the board; the homestead exemption meaningfully reduces the taxable base for owner-occupiers.
At $345,000 to buy against $1,800 a month to rent, the price-to-rent ratio is 16.0 — the 17th lowest in the country, close enough to the middle that the answer turns on your holding period and what a down payment would earn invested instead.
Property tax outweighs insurance on a median home here, $259 against $175 a month, so an assessment appeal is worth more than a policy switch.
Homeowners insurance is unusually expensive here — $2,100 a year, the 20th highest in the country. That is $175 a month, and unlike principal and interest it is not fixed for thirty years; premium increases land on top of a payment you already committed to.
