How it works
How to increase your mortgage affordability
Increasing your mortgage affordability involves enhancing your financial health; paying off debts and increasing your income are key strategies.
Curb Your Spending
Curbing your spending can free up more of your income for mortgage payments, improving your mortgage affordability and enhancing your attractiveness to lenders.
Lower Priced Home
Opting for a lower-priced home can significantly reduce your mortgage requirements, making it easier to secure a mortgage and manage repayments.
Reduce Open Accounts
Reducing the number of open credit accounts can lower your debt-to-income ratio, improving your credit profile and increasing your mortgage affordability.
Longer Amortization
Choosing a longer amortization period can lower your monthly payments, resulting in a more affordable mortgage.
Financial information
Your overall financial health plays a pivotal role in determining your mortgage affordability. This includes your income, savings, credit score, and existing debts. Your income and savings are key factors in how much you can afford for monthly mortgage payments and down payment respectively.
Monthly expenses
When determining mortgage affordability, it's crucial to account for all monthly expenses, not just the projected mortgage payment. These expenses include property taxes, homeowner's insurance, homeowner association fees, utilities, and maintenance costs.
