Home Value
Check Zillow or Realtor.com for a quick estimate, or ask a local agent for a free CMA (Comparative Market Analysis).
Property Tax
Find your annual tax bill and divide by 12. In Utah, rates typically run 0.5–0.7% of assessed value per year.
Maintenance Costs
A good rule of thumb: budget 1% of your home's value per year for maintenance. Older homes often need more.
Investment Return
A conservative estimate is 4–6% annually in a diversified index fund. Adjust based on your risk tolerance.
Freed Equity
This is roughly: (Current Home Value) minus (New Home Price) minus (Remaining Mortgage Balance) minus (Selling Costs ~6%).
New Mortgage
Use a mortgage calculator to estimate. With equity from your sale, you may be able to buy your new home outright!
