Location Matters

Location also plays a crucial role. Sometimes, opting for a longer commute can get you more home for your money, but remember to consider the additional commuting costs. On the other hand, energy-efficient homes might come with a higher initial price tag but can significantly reduce your utility bills over time.

Total Cost of Ownership

When evaluating affordability, consider the total cost of ownership. This includes:

• Mortgage Payments: Should be within 28% of your monthly income.

• Maintenance Costs: Regular upkeep can prevent expensive repairs in the future.

• Property Taxes: Vary widely by location and can affect monthly affordability.

• Home Insurance: Essential for protecting your investment.

• Utilities: Energy-efficient homes can lower long-term utility costs.
