Jeffersons are considering selling their current residence, buying a small home near Avery’s parents for $220,000 with a $100,000 30-year mortgage at 3.5%, and investing the net proceeds in their retirement accounts and education accounts. They assume they will incur 2% in transaction costs for the purchase and 6% for the sale. They have asked you the following: What will their monthly payment (principal and interest only) be on their new home if their new mortgage is the 3.5% on $100,000 for 30 years that they project? How much cash would they have available for other goals if they sell their old house for $330,000 and buy a new house for $220,000? Assume the mortgage they pay off is $56,000 and they pay the transaction costs for both homes from the proceeds of the sale of their current home. Also assume they take a $100,000 mortgage on the new home. If the Jeffersons purchase the new house and start a $100,000 30-year mortgage at 3.5% one year from today, what will be the balance on their mortgage after 17 years of payments? This is when they will be turning 65 and thus eligible for Medicare.
