Inaccurate Mortgage Payment Estimates with Taxes and Insurance
A standard mortgage payment is often quoted by a mortgage lenders with either just the principal or interest portion of the monthly payment or the principal and interest as well as the monthly allotment for taxes and insurance. The terms used by the mortgage industry for these monthly mortgage payments are referred to by a couple of acronyms. PI is used to refer to the principle and interest payment and PITI is used to refer to the full payment of principal, interest, taxes and insurance.
When the mortgage lender is quoting a payment that includes the TI or taxes and insurance portion of a monthly mortgage payment, this number is frequently just and estimate and is often inaccurate.
Miscalculating the monthly amount of property taxes or insurance is generally not intentional. When a potential home loan borrower first calls a mortgage lender for a mortgage rate quote, a common question is what the monthly payment will be. It is fairly easy to provide a mortgage payment amount based on the loan amount, the mortgage rate offered by the mortgage lender and the term of the loan. In fact, with these figures, an exact mortgage payment can be calculated that includes principal and interest. Now when it comes time to quote the payment with taxes and insurance, the mortgage lender has to rely on an estimate of these figures based on the property value and location or use figures that are provide by the borrower.
In either case, the PITI monthly payment that is initially quoted is generally going to be an estimate that has quite a bit of room for error. This error amount is magnified in the current low mortgage rate and high property tax period.
As an example, a home in Naperville Illinois worth $500,000.00 will have a property tax bill of $12,500.00 ( approximately ), with a 20% down payment the loan amount would be $400,000, with mortgage rate of 4.50% the monthly mortgage payment would be $2,026.74. This is the principal and interest portion of the monthly mortgage payment. By dividing the annual taxes of $12,500.00, the tax portion of the monthly mortgage payment is $1,041.67. If the annual home owner’s insurance bill is $775.00, the insurance portion of the monthly bill would be $64.58. This puts the total PITI payment at $3,132.99. Of the total PITI monthly mortgage payment, almost 35% of the payment is for taxes and insurance.
Exact property taxes are typically available only through public records or through tax data published in a local multiple listing services. Once the mortgage loan request is being processed, the mortgage lender will have a more exact figure on the real estate taxes based on information retrieved form the county tax offices.
The same issue of inexact figures applies to hazard insurance or home owners insurance. The exact number for the insurance costs will come from the insurance company not the loan officer or the borrower. In the meantime, the figures that used in the initial calculations are just estimates.
Escrow accounts, sometimes called impound accounts are deposit accounts established by the mortgage lender to pay annual property tax bills and insurance premiums. The escrow amount is initially set up with approximately 1/6 of the annual real estate tax bill and 1/16 of the annual insurance bill. The cost or amount of money needed to fund the escrow account will impact the amount of funds need at the loan closing.
If the insurance policy and / or the property taxes are misquoted, it can be quite a shock when the mortgage borrower arrives to the loan closing and has to come up with more funds to cover changes in the escrow account and more importantly, discover for the first time the actual monthly mortgage payment including PITI is significantly higher than thought based on that first mortgage payment quote they received.
To avoid these surprises, pay attention to the numbers. When a mortgage lender quotes a payment, understand what is covered in that mortgage payment. Is it the mortgage payment PITI or just the PI and further recognize how these numbers were calculated. Check the results with a mortgage calculator for the term and mortgage rate and go the extra step to verify the tax payment amount and insurance costs.
