Do the math

What would you pay each month for a home in Jackson?

A typical home costs more than the typical income allows

We start with a typical home in Jackson, worth $1,521,900, an FHA loan with 3.5% down and the latest average rate (7.18%). That payment would take 122% of the typical household income in Jackson, which is $118,991 a year. For that payment to be 28% of income, a household would need to earn about $519,388 a year. Note: at that price the loan is above the FHA limit for Teton 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 Teton County.

This loan is over the FHA limit

You need at least $53,267 for the down payment, plus closing costs.

This is an estimate to give you an idea, not a loan offer. Your real payment depends on your rate, your credit, and the insurance and taxes on the home you buy.

How prices have changed in Teton County

FHFA does not publish this index by city: these are the numbers for all of Teton County.

The index follows the price of the same homes over time (sales and appraisals with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans). It is not the average price of a home. FHFA considers its annual county indexes experimental. Source: FHFA, 2025 data
