“Hey David, I make more money now. What kind of house can I buy on my new salary?” - A Lot of First-time Home Buyers

“There’s an equation for that!” - David Sidoni, #1 First-time Home Buyer Advocate & Data Chart Enthusiast

Yes, it’s true. There is indeed an equation that can help you determine how much home you can afford based on how much you make. David will spill all the tea in this episode… but you HAVE to promise to listen to the whole podcast. He’s not kidding. There’s more to the numbers than meets the ears.

David made all of his calculations based on very rounded, very average numbers. Know that interest rates, home prices, and the overall market will ALWAYS change. Always. You can’t just walk away with the numbers from this equation and assume you’ve got it all together. Instead, take this equation, get a ballpark estimate, and then get in touch with a highly qualified real estate agent and allow them to help guide you the rest of the way.
