When you imagine paying a mortgage<\/a>, does it make you feel a little queasy? Are you worried or anxious you won\u2019t have any money left over at the end of the month?<\/p>\n

You\u2019re not alone. There\u2019s a term for this scenario: It\u2019s called being \u201chouse poor<\/a>,\u201d \u2014 when your housing costs eat up the bulk of your income. It\u2019s an uncomfortable way to live, but you don\u2019t have to resign yourself to it if you want to buy a house. You can have a mortgage and still afford the things you want in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n \"homelight\n <\/div>\n \n

Step one: Talk to a few buyer's agents!<\/h3>\n

Tell us a little bit about your plans (where you’re looking to buy and when you want to make a purchase) and we’ll connect you with top-rated buyer’s agents in your area. It takes only a few minutes, and it’s free.<\/p>\n \n

\n Get Started<\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

But if you want to avoid being house poor, you\u2019re going to need to do a little work upfront to make sure your home loan<\/a> is going to be manageable for you once you\u2019ve bought the house. (And with home values skyrocketing<\/a> across much of the country, it\u2019s possible that you might not be able<\/em> to avoid being house poor, at least at first.)<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve combed through the lending data and talked to some experts to help you figure out exactly what you need to do to avoid being house poor \u2014 before<\/em> signing that dotted line<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What does \u2018house poor\u2019 mean?<\/h2>\n

The basic definition of house poor means spending more than you can afford on your housing expenses. That means not just your mortgage payment but also other housing costs, such as insurance, taxes, and maintenance. When you\u2019re house-poor, too much of your income is tied up in your house<\/a>, making it difficult to pay for the other necessities of life.<\/p>\n

How much is \u201ctoo much\u201d when it comes to housing expenses<\/a>? Well, there are different measures, but financial experts commonly recommend you spend no more than 30% of your income on housing costs \u2014 and 28% is better<\/a>. According to the latest Census data, real median household income<\/a> did not increase significantly from $82,690 in 2023 to $83,730 in 2024. With a monthly income of about $6,976, it’s recommended not to spend more than $1,953 on your home each month.<\/p>\n

That figure would include not just your mortgage, but your utilities<\/a>, too. And<\/em> home insurance<\/a> and<\/em> maintenance<\/a> costs an<\/em>d taxes. Ouch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
