How Much is PMI?
Premium prices vary. They are based on the size of the down payment, type of mortgage and amount of insurance coverage. Premiums typically are folded into your monthly mortgage payment.
The range for a median priced home is $50 to $80 per month (in 2001, the national median price for a single family home was $147,500). You can pay the premium up front and finance it as part of your mortgage. Lender-paid policies also are available, but they result in a higher interest rate on the mortgage.
