QUESTION:  Why do the Two City Comparison table analyses of home ownership default to equal interest rates in the Base and Destination cities?

 

For relocations within the US and Canada, the Geographic Assessor databases allow for home rent or own profiles in the Two City Comparison table.

 

Housing assumptions default to common values so that you may initially view an apples-to-apples, first-year scenario comparison.  Of course, an employee will usually be moving from a more mature mortgage with different interest rates, down payment, etc.  You may alter the values for both the Base and Destination city home ownership assumptions separately.
