Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $196,476. Put 20% down and borrow $157,181 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $1,088 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $42,333 a year, $3,528 a month. So the payment takes 30.8% of income — rated “stretched” (Lotvox ZIP bands: under 28% affordable · 28–36% stretched · 36%+ severe).
The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 16.4% in 2009.
