Description:

BreazeHome is an academic project originated and lead by Dr. Masoud Sadjadi to help his students learn Agile Software Development in the context of a Web-based real-estate application that provides property information and services for home buyers, sellers, renters and realtors. BreazeHome is designed to be simple and to have an intuitive user interface in order to provide the best experience for its end users For this feature of BreazeHome, we implemented a Mortgage Calculator. This tool allows the users to accurately calculate their monthly mortgage payments with a number of varying factors such as loan amount, down payment, interest rate, and loan duration. We have implemented this tool in several ways. First, in each listing there is now an accurate mortgage calculation that the user can adjust. Second, there is a standalone calculator should the user some in with some data already. Third, there is a mortgage comparison tool to compare two mortgages side by side. Fourth, there is an interest only mortgage calculator. Lastly, there is the affordability calculator to let a user know how much they should budget each month for a mortgage.
