Buying a home in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's housing market ranges from expensive Philadelphia suburbs to very affordable western PA and rural markets. Property taxes fund schools heavily and average about 1.53%.

With a median home price around $285,000 and an effective property tax rate of 1.53%, a typical Pennsylvania homeowner pays about $4,361 per year in property taxes — roughly $363 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 Pennsylvania.

Understanding your Pennsylvania mortgage payment

A typical Pennsylvania 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 — Pennsylvania's effective property tax rate of 1.53% 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.
