Why a fixed payment ages well
Sunday's market newsletter looked at how inflation shrinks a debt: the amount owed stays the same while paychecks grow. A fixed rate mortgage works that way for a household. Since 1989, East Bay home values rose about 4.7 times, Alameda County's median household income 3.7 times, and Bay Area consumer prices 2.8 times.
What it costs at 7.37%
On Newark's median asking price of $1,298,000 with 20% down, the loan is $1,038,400, inside the $1,249,125 high balance conforming limit for Alameda County. Principal and interest comes to $7,168 a month at Friday's 7.37%, the latest Mortgage News Daily reading.
