A typical home costs about 3.0 years of typical household pay. That is home value divided by income. It is not a mortgage quote.

The 30% rule is a budget guide. It is not a benefit rule, and it is not your landlord's rule.

Taxes, childcare, and your own rent can change the picture. Benefit rules follow the state, not the city line.
