Mortgage FAQ

Frequently asked questions: New Braunfels mortgages.

Common questions about financing a home in New Braunfels, Comal County, and the Texas Hill Country.

How is the monthly payment calculated?

Your estimate starts with the standard amortization formula for principal and interest, then adds estimated monthly property tax (based on 2.2% of home value for Comal County) and homeowner's insurance so you can see a full PITI payment before you tour.

What is the average property tax rate in New Braunfels?

Property tax rates in New Braunfels and Comal County typically range from 1.8% to 2.5% of assessed value, depending on the school district and any special districts. The default estimate is 2.2%. Your actual rate may vary based on location and exemptions.

How much down payment do I need?

Conventional loans typically require 5-20% down. FHA loans can go as low as 3.5%. VA and USDA loans may require no down payment at all. A larger down payment lowers your monthly payment and may help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). Peter can connect you with lenders who offer programs tailored to your situation.

Should I choose a 15-year or 30-year mortgage?

A 15-year mortgage has higher monthly payments but significantly lower total interest. A 30-year mortgage keeps payments manageable and gives you more cash flow flexibility. Compare both terms before you commit, especially when rates are high.

Does this calculator include HOA fees?

No. Your estimate includes principal, interest, taxes, and insurance only. Many New Braunfels communities, especially gated neighborhoods and master-planned developments, have HOA fees that can range from $50 to $500+ per month. Peter can provide HOA details for specific communities you're considering.

How accurate is this estimate?

Expect a planning number, not a final lender quote. Your actual payment depends on your credit score, loan type, lender fees, exact tax assessment, insurance quotes, and any PMI. For a precise number, get pre-approved with a lender. Peter works with several local lenders and can make an introduction.
