ILLUSTRATIVE CALCULATOR EXAMPLE
Compare three four-year housing scenarios
Use this example to plan housing near Arizona State University. These are the existing calculator’s hypothetical inputs, not local market medians, current loan quotes or a forecast. The same purchase is compared with no roommate and with an assumed $1,000 monthly contribution.
Compare the full cost over the same 48 months. A roommate contribution reduces the modeled cash cost; it does not change the mortgage or guarantee rental income. The sale proceeds include returned invested equity, so they are not profit.
| Cost or outcome | A: Rent | B: Buy, no roommate | C: Buy, one hypothetical roommate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial monthly housing cost | $3,500 | $6,117 | $5,117 |
| Cash at purchase: down payment + buying costs | Not applicable | $175,950 | $175,950 |
| Four-year rent payments | $173,108 | Not applicable | Not applicable |
| Annual roommate contribution | $0 | $0 | $12,000 |
| Four-year roommate contribution | $0 | $0 | $48,000 |
| Mortgage principal repaid in four years | Not applicable | $28,943 | $28,943 |
| Sale proceeds after selling costs and remaining mortgage | Not applicable | $195,320 | $195,320 |
| Modeled four-year net housing cost after resale | $173,108 | $274,240 | $226,240 |

Net ownership cost = cash at purchase + 48 months of carrying costs − sale proceeds after selling costs and mortgage repayment. Principal repayment is already included; it is not subtracted again. Taxes, insurance, HOA, maintenance and the roommate contribution are held constant. Rent increases once per year.
The rent example is off-campus housing only; it is not a dorm or meal-plan comparison. Utilities, rental deposits and move-in fees, mortgage insurance, tax effects, investment returns on cash, vacancy, unpaid rent and unexpected assessments are excluded. Roommate permission and financing eligibility require separate review. Change the assumptions in the interactive calculator before relying on a result.
Method references: CFPB mortgage amortization · closing costs and cash to close · renting, equity and selling costs. These explain the method, not the hypothetical amounts.

Park Tract is part of the Maple-Ash neighborhood just west of ASU's Tempe campus. The City of Tempe identifies its boundaries as 10th Street, Mill Avenue, 13th Street and the railroad.
- Campus orientation: west of ASU's Tempe campus.
- Park Tract is one part of Maple-Ash; compare each property's actual location.
University Park Historic District, Tempe · 2009 photograph Photo: Mcmillin24. Source · CC BY-SA 3.0 · Original JPEG bytes retained. Responsive CSS framing only; no retouching or upscaling.University Park
The City of Tempe places University Park immediately south of ASU's Tempe campus and southeast of downtown. Its historic district includes primarily houses, with some duplexes.
- Campus orientation: south of ASU's Tempe campus.
- Use the exact address and intended campus destination to compare access.
Broadmor
Modern Phoenix documents Broadmor’s midcentury houses in the area between Broadway Road, Alameda Drive, College Avenue and Rural Road. The City also lists pollinator-garden funding for Broadmor. Compare the condition, shade and actual ASU route of the home you are considering.
- Modern Phoenix describes low-sloping rooflines and clerestory windows in its local architectural survey; confirm the design and condition of the individual home.
- The City grant page records approved funding for a Broadmor pollinator garden, not proof that the project is complete. Broadmor Place is a distinct name in the City’s tree-grant list.
Daley Park
The City reports completed upgrades at Daley Park, including the playground, lighting, fitness stations, trees and irrigation. Compare the exact home and campus route, and visit the park to assess how you would use it.
- The park project is local context; it does not establish current home availability or a property’s condition.
Mitchell Park
The City identifies the Mitchell Park East and West neighborhoods in west Tempe, and lists the park at Mitchell Drive and Ninth Street. Compare the home’s position, crossings and route to your ASU destination rather than treating every address as the same trip.
- The official park listing includes a dog park, playground and sports facilities; confirm the facilities and access that matter to you.
Holdeman
Holdeman’s neighborhood association reports that its Hardy Drive bike-lane mural project was completed in March 2025. Compare the home’s actual connection to Hardy Drive and the ASU route you would use, including crossings, parking and existing shade.
- The association’s separate tree-planting page still describes a funding-dependent proposal; inspect existing trees and irrigation rather than assuming planned work is complete.
- The mural project does not establish a safe or fast route for every address; verify your complete campus trip.
