How Much House Can You Really Afford?

The bank might approve you for more than you should actually spend. 💰
A simple rule of thumb:
✅ Keep your total housing payment under ~28% of gross monthly income
✅ Don't forget taxes, insurance & HOA
✅ Leave room for savings & life
Buying the max isn't the goal — buying comfortably is. A payment you can breathe under beats a bigger house that stresses you out. 🏡
Buying and selling? Do both with Sell for 1 Percent — our 1% listing fee leaves more cash for your move.
