Albuquerque mortgage calculator
A median-priced Albuquerque, NM home at 6.75% over 30 years, with New Mexico property tax of 0.67% and $1,900 a year of homeowners insurance. Every figure below is computed on our amortising engine — nothing is estimated in the browser.
$2,235 a month, all in
Principal and interest are $1,780; escrow and PMI add the rest. Over the full term the loan costs $366,445 in interest. Discounted at 5%, buying here has a net present value of $72,406 ($279,651 in today’s dollars).
Within New Mexico, Albuquerque is 2nd of the 4 New Mexico markets covered here, between Santa Fe at the top and Las Cruces at the bottom of a 2.00x spread. A state-level median hides most of that.
Rents here are high relative to prices — a rent index of 1.05 against a price index of 1.00. That combination favours buying sooner, because the payment you avoid is larger relative to the price you pay.
A price-to-rent ratio of 17.3 puts Albuquerque in the middle of the range, where the rent-vs-buy answer is decided by how long you stay and what the deposit would otherwise earn.

Where these numbers come from
New Mexico medians come from editorial and are refreshed weekly. The Albuquerque 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.
