How Much Home Can We Afford?
Myself
- Salary: 165k
- Net: 7.1k/month (after maxing 401k & HSA)
- No debt
Partner
- Salary: 66k
- Monthly Debts
- Car Payment: $340/month
- Loan Payment: $500/month
About
- HCOL
- 20% down payment
- Total House Cost: $650k - $700k
- No kids but likely in the next 5 years
- Pretty reasonable with groceries and eating out
- Wedding this year
- Assume market (~6.5%) rate, 30 year conventional
We're thinking $3,600 monthly payment (PITI) is pretty safe. How tight will $4,000 feel or even $4,400 feel for us?
Thanks in advance.
