A few years out of UCCS you're earning $125,000 and decide to buy a condominium. The one you like will cost $300,000. The bank will require a 15% down payment and will lend you the difference in a 30yr traditional mortgage at an interest rate of 4.800%(M). Now seven more years have passed, a total of ten years since you bought the condo. The real estate market slowed down and then it crashed. For the next 6 years, your condo appreciated at 1% per year, but then over-building finally caught up with Colorado and in year 10 the housing market fell 20%. You pay a broker a 5% commission to sell the condo. You also have closing costs of $2,500. 14 What is the value (sale price) of your condo at the end of year ten? Hint: it's worth less than you paid for it. 15 In total, how much do you have to pay in broker commissions and closing costs? 16 What are your cash proceeds, after you sell the condo and after paying the broker and closing costs? 17 What is the principal balance you owe on the mortgage at the end of year ten? (Hint: be careful here... It's 10 years since you bought the condo, but you refinanced to a new mtge at the end of year three... so be careful: how many months have passed on this new mortgage?)
