Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $669,602. Put 20% down and borrow $535,682 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $3,709 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $108,359 a year, $9,030 a month. So the payment takes 41.1% of income — rated “severe” (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 23.2% in 2015.
