Do the math
What would you pay each month for a home in Ewa Villages?
A typical home costs more than the typical income allows
We start with a typical home in Ewa Villages, worth $867,600, an FHA loan with 3.5% down and the latest average rate (7.18%). That payment would take 92% of the typical household income in Ewa Villages, which is $88,813 a year. For that payment to be 28% of income, a household would need to earn about $292,683 a year. Note: at that price the loan is above the FHA limit for Honolulu County ($828,000), 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 Honolulu County.
