The average median 2019 price of a home here in Columbia, SC was around $145,000. That price is not bad at all (surprisingly good!!). Given that the interest on the housing loan is roughly 3.92% and the deal is over 30 years, what should you approximately expect your monthly payments to be if you decide to purchase a house here in Columbia?
