Do the math

What would you pay each month for a home in Camino Tassajara?

A typical home costs more than the typical income allows

We start with a typical home in Camino Tassajara, worth $2,000,001, an FHA loan with 3.5% down and the latest average rate (7.18%). That payment would take 78% of the typical household income in Camino Tassajara, which is $250,001 a year. For that payment to be 28% of income, a household would need to earn about $693,267 a year. Note: at that price the loan is above the FHA limit for Contra Costa County ($1,249,125), 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 Contra Costa County.
