What drives the Seattle number
- King County property tax: ~0.93% effective rate. On the median price ($855,000) that escrows to about $663 per month.
- Washington insurance: ~0.40% of home value annually. About $285 per month.
- Loan-type spread: FHA quotes run ~0.30% below conventional, but you pay an upfront MIP plus 0.55% annual MIP for the life of the loan when you put less than 10% down.
- Local quirk: Washington's Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) ranges from 1.10% to 3.0% by price tier and is paid by the seller customarily.
