How Much Home Can I Afford? The Truth About Mortgage Prequalification

One of the most common questions I get from homebuyers is:

👉 “How much home can I afford?”

Many buyers guess their budget or rely on online calculators, but the only way to truly know is through mortgage prequalification.

📌 What Happens When You Get Prequalified?

  • We review your income, credit, and debts.
  • We estimate how much you can borrow.
  • You get a pre-qualification letter, which helps you stand out to sellers.

💡 Key Factors That Affect How Much You Can Afford:

✔ Your Income – Lenders look at your monthly earnings to determine loan eligibility.

✔ Your Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI) – The percentage of your income that goes toward debt payments. The lower, the better!

✔ Your Down Payment – A higher down payment can lower your monthly mortgage payment.

✔ Your Credit Score – Higher scores often lead to better loan terms.
