Buying a home in New Jersey

New Jersey has the highest effective property tax rate in the US at around 2.2%, which meaningfully adds to total housing costs even in markets where list prices appear moderate.

With a median home price around $510,000 and an effective property tax rate of 2.20%, a typical New Jersey homeowner pays about $11,220 per year in property taxes — roughly $935 per month on top of the principal-and-interest payment. Use the mortgage calculator above to adjust home price, down payment, interest rate, and loan term to model your specific situation in New Jersey.

Understanding your New Jersey mortgage payment

A typical New Jersey mortgage payment includes four components, often abbreviated PITI:

  • Principal — the portion that reduces your loan balance each month
  • Interest — the cost of borrowing, based on your rate and remaining balance
  • Taxes — New Jersey's effective property tax rate of 2.20% is collected monthly into an escrow account
  • Insurance — homeowner's insurance (and PMI if your down payment is under 20%)

Lenders use the front-end debt-to-income ratio (DTI) — your total housing payment divided by gross monthly income — to qualify you for a loan. Most conventional lenders target a front-end DTI under 28%. The calculator above shows your full monthly PITI estimate so you can check that ratio before applying.
