Aurora mortgage calculator
A median-priced Aurora, CO home at 6.75% over 30 years, with Colorado property tax of 0.51% and $3,100 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$3,532 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $2,863; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $589,315 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $28,806 ($323,427 in today’s dollars).
Within Colorado, Aurora is 5th of the 6 Colorado markets covered here, between Boulder at the top and Colorado Springs at the bottom of a 2.06x spread. A state-level median hides most of that.
The price-to-rent ratio here is 20.5 ($490,500 to buy, $1,995 a month to rent), which is high. Renting and investing the deposit is a genuine alternative in Aurora, not a fallback position.
Aurora is cheaper than Colorado as a whole — $490,500 against a state median of $545,000, roughly 10% below. On a 20% deposit that is $10,900 less to find up front.

Where these numbers come from
Colorado medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Aurora figures index those state medians to the local market, so they track the same feed rather than going stale. Insurance and the state income tax rate are editorial. Treat everything here as a planning estimate, not a quote.
