The median home price in Ogden is $380,000, with a local 30-year mortgage rate of 6.9%. A buyer putting 20% down carries a loan of $304,000, generating a monthly P&I payment of $2,002. Adding property taxes ($190/mo) and homeowners insurance ($158/mo) brings total monthly PITI to $2,350.
Ogden's property tax rate of 0.6% is among the lower rates in the country, which improves overall affordability by keeping total PITI closer to the principal and interest payment alone. On the Ogden median home, that is $190/month, or $2,280 per year.
Utah levies a state income tax, which affects take-home pay and effective buying power. High-income earners in Ogden should factor state tax liability into their overall housing budget — mortgage interest may be deductible on both federal and state returns.
