Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $199,010. Put 20% down and borrow $159,208 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $1,102 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $46,513 a year, $3,876 a month. So the payment takes 28.4% 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 15.5% in 2016.
