If you can afford a $500,000 down payment and secure a 30-year fixed mortgage rate at 6 percent, your monthly costs would be about **$12,000. **Annual taxes are about $6,450 and the monthly homeownership dues are $388. The dues cover the water, sewer, garbage, real estate taxes and dock maintenance, according to Miner’s Web site.
