Local Market Insights

Custer County FHA Mortgage Overview

In Custer County, the average FHA buyer places 20.42% down, a substantial sum that reduces the loan principal but does not eliminate the mandatory Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP), which remains for the life of the loan. This structure is particularly beneficial for buyers with sub-620 credit scores, as it offers access despite a higher risk profile. The 79.58% loan-to-value ratio confirms strong initial equity for these owner-occupied homes. However, the recent 15.4% inflation-adjusted tax increase, paired with the low 0.35% effective rate, means monthly affordability is tightening. When evaluating an FHA loan with PMI and taxes in Custer County, CO, or assessing FHA loan limits, remember that these rising property taxes directly impact your true monthly payment.
