Affordability Analysis for $300,000

True $0 down loans are typically reserved for Veterans (VA) or rural properties (USDA). Without a down payment, your monthly bill is higher, but entry cost is lower.

When planning for a home at this price point, it is critical to calculate not just the mortgage, but the "Unrecoverable Costs" of homeownership: property taxes, HOA fees, and maintenance (usually 1% of home value per year).

FAQs for this Price Range

How much is the monthly payment for a $300,000 mortgage?

At a 6.5% interest rate, the Principal & Interest payment for a $300,000 loan is approximately $1516. However, with taxes and insurance (PITI), you should budget for about $2550 per month.

How much income do I need for a $300,000 house?

Using the 28% rule, lenders typically look for a gross annual income of approximately $109,285 to comfortably afford a $300,000 home.

Do I need 20% down?

No. You can buy this home with as little as 3-3.5% down ($10,500), but you will have to pay Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).
