How to Determine Your Home Affordability

Here’s my advice for determining your budget on a home purchase.

To answer the question of how much home you can afford, we need to take into account a few primary items. Your household income, monthly debts, and the amount of savings you have for a down payment are three of the biggest. 

As a homebuyer, you want to have a certain level of comfort with your monthly mortgage payment. While your household income and monthly debts may be relatively stable, unexpected expenses and unplanned spending can impact your savings. A good rule of thumb is to have three months’ worth of payments in savings to allow you to cover your mortgage in the case of an emergency.
