How much income do I need to buy a $600,000 home?

Answered by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker

Buying a $600,000 Florida home generally takes household income around $140,000 to $165,000, assuming limited other debt and a moderate down payment.

At current rates the payment with taxes and insurance often runs $4,000 to $4,500 a month. We'll factor your credit, down payment, and county costs to set the real income figure.

Income for a $600,000 home

A $600,000 Florida home typically calls for about $140,000 to $165,000 a year. Down payment, rate, and debts move the range. Fewer monthly debts lower the need.

This price often nears the jumbo line depending on county limits. Insurance and taxes add more. We factor all of it into the target.

How to qualify

Short of the mark? A larger down payment helps most. A co-borrower adds income. Paying off debt frees your ratio.
