Space CoastPat & Wendi
Start with intent

A good move starts with
a clear next step.

Local guidance, straightforward answers, and a plan that fits your goals.

Your payment plan

A clearer picture before the first tour.

Start with three numbers. Open the details when you want to include insurance, closing cash, and a second scenario.

The starting values are examples. Replace them with property details and lender or insurance quotes for a more useful conversation.

6.75% is a sample rate, not a current lender quote.

Fine-tune the monthly costs

Mortgage and flood insurance start at $0. Add quoted amounts when they apply. Taxes use your entered price and annual percentage; actual assessments can differ.

Plan the cash at closing

Closing costs exclude the separate prepaid allowance. Credits reduce those allowances; the deposit reduces cash still due. Eligibility and final amounts need lender and closing-agent confirmation.

Compare two scenarios

Keep these numbers as scenario A, then adjust the fields to explore scenario B. Your comparison lasts while this page is open.

Estimated monthly housing cost$3,020

Principal & interest$2,481

Property taxes$390

Home / flood insurance$150

HOA / mortgage insurance$0

Estimated cash still due at closing$56,750$56,750 total cash, including your entered deposit

You would borrow $382,500 after $42,500 down. This estimate uses a fixed rate over 30 years and adds your entered monthly costs.

A planning estimate, not loan approval or a loan estimate. Utilities, maintenance, tax changes, and other property costs are not included.

Work back from your comfort zone

A home that fits
your life. And your budget.

The best starting point is the monthly cost you are comfortable carrying. Work back to a purchase range, then explore the details with Pat & Wendi.

  1. Start with your comfortable monthly payment.
  2. Allow for insurance, taxes, and closing cash.
  3. Bring your plan into a real conversation.
Payment comfort

Your monthly limit. Your starting range.

Work backward from a comfortable payment, then leave room for closing costs and reserves.

The 6.75% starting rate is an example. Other monthly costs should include taxes, home/flood/mortgage insurance, and HOA when applicable.

Cash reserve and loan term

Only the cash left after this allowance goes toward the down payment. $0 leaves all purchase cash in the down payment; enter your own reserve.

Estimated purchase ceiling$390,757

$2,275/month is available for principal and interest. The estimate combines a $350,757 loan with $40,000 down.

A planning ceiling, not financing approval. Monthly costs may change with the property and price; confirm them before choosing a budget.

Your selling plan

What comes after
the sold sign?

Start with a sale price you want to explore. See how your mortgage payoff, preparation, and selling costs affect what you might have for the next move.

Ready for property-specific guidance? Request a private home review.

Bring these into the conversation

Your address, improvements, ideal timeline, and whether you are also buying. Pat & Wendi can help put the pieces in order.

Seller cash plan

See what your next move could leave you.

Enter a possible sale price, then account for payoff and costs. This does not estimate your home’s market value.

Sale costs and preparation

Selling costs start at 0% as a placeholder. Enter your negotiated or quoted percentage; include it only once. Other costs and preparation start with example allowances.

Estimated net proceeds$216,500

Mortgage payoff$200,000

Selling and closing costs$3,500

Preparation and buyer credits$5,000

Sale price minus payoff, selling costs, other closing costs, preparation, and buyer credits. A payoff statement can include interest and fees beyond a loan balance.

An estimate using your assumptions. Final settlement, tax, lien, moving, and other costs may differ or be additional.

Find your Space Coast

More than an address.
A place to call yours.

Beachside, mainland, or somewhere in between? Start with your priorities and the places you want to compare. Pat & Wendi will help you bring local context to the search.

Your brief captures preferences. Current properties, prices, and availability are part of your conversation with the team.

Space Coast search brief

Build a shortlist for Pat and Wendi to refine with you. These starter notes describe conversation topics; they do not rank communities or show current listings.

Budget is included in your brief. It does not filter areas by unsupported price or availability assumptions.

Starter notes for your shortlist

Cocoa Beach

Beachside starting point. Discuss ocean access, building rules, and property-specific insurance.

Melbourne

A mainland starting point. Compare individual addresses, daily destinations, and property features.

Ask Pat and Wendi for their current local guidance and property-specific information. Your selected areas stay in the brief when you change the geography filter.

The local perspective

A little knowledge.
A much clearer move.

Useful starting points for buying, selling, and settling into life on the Space Coast.

01

Look beyond the list price.

A comfortable payment includes more than the loan. Use the planner to include taxes, insurance, association fees, and mortgage insurance when applicable.

Explore your monthly costs
02

Beachside or mainland?

Start with the places you go, the type of home you want, and how you spend your time. Build an area brief that Pat & Wendi can discuss with you.

03

Selling starts with preparation.

Bring your address, recent improvements, and your ideal timing. A private review can help you decide what to prepare and which questions to answer before listing.

Common questions

Questions before you reach out.

A few common answers for buyers and sellers who are early in the process.

Do I need to be ready to buy or sell?

No. Many clients reach out while they are still comparing options. Pat and Wendi can help you understand timing, pricing, and next steps before you make a decision.

Is there a cost to ask questions or request a home value?

A conversation or value request does not commit you to buying or listing. If you decide to move forward with representation, they will explain that process clearly before anything is signed.

What should I include in the form?

Include your timeline, target areas, budget range, or property address if you are selling. A short note is fine, but more detail helps Pat and Wendi give a better first reply.

Can I just call instead?

Yes. Call directly if that is easier. The form is useful when you want to send details in writing or reach out after hours.

Have a different question?Send a quick noteor call (321) 693-2023 — whichever is easier.
