Mortgage company Homebuyer used median home values and household incomes to calculate how much one's monthly mortgage payments would amount to in each US state.

They assumed that the mortgage rate was locked in for 30-years, with a four percent interest rate. Here's what they found.



Key Takeaways

  • Iowa, Indiana and Ohio are three sates with the cheapest home prices. Median home prices in these states is under $150,000, and it's estimated that monthly payments wouldn't exceed more than $702.

  • Hawaii and California have the most expensive house prices in the US, and are the only two states where it takes more than 31 percent of one's median income to afford a home.

    Definitely true! Property taxes are outrageously very high in Texas. I moved from California to Texas 2 years and regret the move.

    Some entity in TX must have paid whomever came up with this heat map big money to lie. TX should be Red. Just like CA. Very expensive to live here. High property taxes as well. Everything is big in TX to include property taxes , use tax for everything and the houses are getting smaller for more. Don’t come to TX.

    If this is per income, this isn't accurate for Texas. As other comments have said...

    First, Texas is huge. They should do a complete heat map. Because there's lots of areas in Texas have cheap housing because they're ghost towns. Nobody lives there, so it drives our numbers down.

    If you only observed DFW, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio (where our population is actually located), we'd be one of the most expensive places per income, by far.


    We have lower wages and all the other states are moving here (especially California) and the cost of housing is skyrocketing.

    I have a 6 figure salary and perfect credit and I can barely get approved for anything in the major cities. It's wild. 2 years ago I could have bought a huge house for 1/3 of the price they are now.
