Do the math

What would you pay each month for a home in Tanque Verde?

A typical home costs more than the typical income allows

We start with a typical home in Tanque Verde, worth $607,900, an FHA loan with 3.5% down and the latest average rate (7.18%). That payment would take 48% of the typical household income in Tanque Verde, which is $121,599 a year. For that payment to be 28% of income, a household would need to earn about $209,133 a year. Note: at that price the loan is above the FHA limit for Pima County ($541,287), so FHA would not insure it; the payment is only a reference.

The calculator's FHA and conventional loan limits are those of all of Pima County.
