I have no idea where you're getting $228 from because even if he got an interest-free 30 year loan he'd still be paying over $363. In addition to the principal he needs to pay interest, probably mortgage insurance, property insurance, property taxes, HOA fees, and utilities mandated by the HOA/lender/city like heat and sewer. He is currently approaching 33-53% equity in the property assuming his down payment was 10-20% of the purchase price.Another note, people hear "Connecticut" and expect a huge mortgage payment. His place has an estimated $228 monthly payment (if it's not paid off already). I'd wager it's paid off and now a "investMAt" property and just pays property taxes. It's already been speculated (the aunt i think?) rents the place. Even $600 rent covers payments and that's cheap.
Second his aunt hasn't lived there for like three years and has been dead for like two of them.
