Do the math
What would you pay each month for a home in Catalina Foothills?
A typical home costs more than the typical income allows
We start with a typical home in Catalina Foothills, worth $652,000, an FHA loan with 3.5% down and the latest average rate (7.18%). That payment would take 55% of the typical household income in Catalina Foothills, which is $115,304 a year. For that payment to be 28% of income, a household would need to earn about $225,469 a year.
