Default Goal Seek on PMT function give different answer than a mortgage ca

Calculating mortgage payments in Excel using the PMT function, is this wrong?
When I use the calculator on any mortgage broker site I get a different
answer to a simple question: What amount could I borrow to result in a $1,000
monthly payment. Excel's goal seek give $190K and others say $160K, why such
a big discrepency? TIA
