Why Is Payment/Income Ratio Important?
Banks generally accept payment that does not exceed 40-50% of monthly income. The ideal ratio is 30-35%. Your existing debt payments are also included in this ratio.
How Much Down Payment Is Needed?
Banks generally require 20-30% of home value as down payment. Higher down payment means lower monthly payment and total interest cost.
Tips
- Account for payment + maintenance + insurance total.
- Set aside 3-5% of home value for title deed, notary, and bank fees.
- Evaluate interest rate increase risk with variable rate loans.
- Get quotes from different banks to find the best rate.
Info
The home price you can afford depends on monthly income, down payment, loan term, and interest rate. General rule: monthly payment should not exceed 35% of income.
Shorter term means less interest but higher payments. Longer term means lower payments but much more total interest. Choose the shortest term you can afford.
Minimum 20% down payment is generally required. 30-40% is ideal, providing lower payments, less interest, and easier loan approval.
