Maine mortgage costs
What a typical Maine (ME) purchase actually costs each month once property tax, insurance and PMI are included — and how to model your own numbers.
| Median home price | $390,000 |
|---|---|
| 10% down payment | $39,000 |
| Loan amount | $351,000 |
| Principal & interest (30yr @ 6.75%) | $2,277/mo |
| Property tax (1.24%) | $403/mo |
| Homeowners insurance | $108/mo |
| PMI (until 20% equity) | $146/mo |
| Estimated total monthly | $2,934/mo |
Illustrative only, at a 6.75% sample rate with 10% down. Your rate, tax assessment and insurance premium will differ.
What makes Maine different
Cheap insurance, above-average property tax, and a thin rental market that weakens the renting alternative.
Insurance is comparatively mild: $1,300 a year is the 6th lowest in the country, or $108 a month against $403 of property tax.
A top state income tax rate of 7.15% makes mortgage interest and property tax deductions worth more here than in a no-income-tax state — though the $10,000 SALT cap limits how much of the $4,836 annual property tax bill actually reduces what you owe.
Renting deserves a serious look here. $390,000 to buy against $1,600 a month to rent is a price-to-rent ratio of 20.3, the 12th highest in the country; at that level the deposit invested elsewhere is a real competitor rather than a consolation.
