Beyond the sticker price - the monthly math, local property taxes, the school districts and the programs that can shrink your out-of-pocket.
*Illustration only - $195K price, 10% down ($19,500), 30-yr fixed at a sample 6.5% rate. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit, loan program and the day you lock. Not a commitment to lend.
Albany County runs moderate-to-higher effective property-tax rates for the region - roughly 1.9%–2.4% of value a year. On a $195K home that's about $309–$390/mo. Your exact bill depends on the school district and exemptions like STAR and veterans' credits.
Ravena / Coeymans is served primarily by the Ravena-Coeymans-Selkirk Central School District. The district drives a big part of your tax bill, so it's always worth confirming the exact lines for a specific address.
Brian works with 3% & 5%-down conventional, FHA (3.5% down), zero-down VA & USDA (much of Ravena / Coeymans qualifies for USDA), and SONYMA first-time-buyer loans with down-payment assistance. First-time buyer? He'll line up every credit you're eligible for.
