Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $175,083. Put 20% down and borrow $140,066 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $970 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $43,813 a year, $3,651 a month. So the payment takes 26.6% of income — rated “affordable” (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 15.4% in 2015.
