Expert Answer

Using the 28/36 rule on $80,000/year ($6,667/month):

Max housing payment (28%): $1,867/month
Max total debt (36%): $2,400/month

At 6.5% rate, 30-year term, $1,867/month supports roughly a $290,000 mortgage. With 20% down, that means a home price of about $362,000.

But remember to add property taxes, insurance, and maintenance — the real cost is more than just the mortgage.
