A seller received $800,000 for a 5.5 acre rectangular parcel alongside a road frontage. The property is 400 feet deep. What was the price per front foot of the property? $1,335.67 $2,000 $363.64 $598.95

$1,335.67 First, find the square footage (5.5 × 43,560 = 239,580). You're given one dimension of the rectangle, so find the other: 239,580 ÷ 400 = 598.95 front feet. To find the price per front foot, $800,000 ÷ 598.95 = $1,335.67 per front foot.

The Simpsons are buying the Martins' house for $415,000, and closing is set for March 15. The Martins have a loan balance of $230,000 at a rate of 4.7% and have prepaid property taxes ($2,506) and insurance ($1,400), and they also have mortgage interest to consider. Using a 365-day proration method, calculate the prorated amount the Simpsons will owe the Martins at closing. Assume February has 28 days this year. The sellers own the day of closing. $1,997.62 $3,113.46 $604.95 $792.54

$1,997.62 Calculate daily rates for taxes to be prorated: $2,506 ÷ 365 = $6.87. The Martins pay the first 74 days (January 1 through March 15): 74 x $6.87 = $508.38. $2,506 - $508.38 = $1,997.62 owed by the Simpsons. Homeowner's insurance isn't prorated between the buyer and seller. A homeowner's insurance policy is an agreement between the insurance company and the policyholder, so any refund due to the seller/homeowner will be handled between those two parties.

Nico is buying a home for $625,000. His earnest money deposit is 8%. He wants to avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI) on his conventional loan, and he owes 5% of the purchase price in closing costs. How much money should he bring to closing? $106,250 $156,250 $31,250 $81,250

$106,250 Conventional loans often require 20% down to avoid PMI ($125,000), and Nico has paid a $50,000 deposit ($625,000 x .08). Closing costs are $31,250 ($625,000 x .05). He needs $106,250 to close ([$125,000 - $50,000] + $31,250).

Edric owes $115,000 on his lakefront home, which he's selling for $350,000. He's spent $73,000 in major renovations, and he wants to take that expense into consideration when he calculates how much he'll actually pocket at closing. What number does he come up with? $162,000 $235,000 $277,000 $308,000

$162,000 Once Edric's loan is paid off, he'll be left with $235,000 ($350,000 - $115,000). When he subtracts the cost of the renovations, he's left with $162,000 ($235,000 - $73,000).

An appraiser used the cost approach to estimate a property's value at $220,000. The site value was $50,000, and the total depreciation estimate was $4,000. What was the estimated cost of improvements?

$174,000 To estimate value, an appraiser adds the site value to the estimated cost to replace improvements then subtracts the estimated depreciation. So to solve the equation, you need to solve for cost of improvements. In order to do this, you have to move the given values to the other side of the equation - $50,000 + $4,000 . Here's the equation used to find the cost of improvements = $220,000 ‒ $50,000 + $4,000.

A buyer has a 30-year, $750,000 loan with a 5.75% interest rate. How much of the first monthly payment is interest? $10,869.57 $3,500.93 $3,593.75 $3,750.27

$3,593.75 Multiply the principal balance by the interest rate: $750,000 x .0575 = $43,125;. Then find the monthly rate by dividing $43,125 by 12 to get $3,593.75. Since the principal balance is less the next month, the interest amount will change too.
