To buy a median-priced Croton Dam Pond home (around $480,000) at today's 6.67% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $86k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $3,238 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Down paymentMonthly paymentIncome needed
20% $3,238/mo$86,353
10% (+PMI)$3,727/mo$99,387
5% (+PMI)$3,891/mo$103,771

Estimates use a 6.67% 30-year fixed rate (current Freddie Mac average), an aggressive ~45% housing-to-income ratio (roughly what FHA underwriting can allow for a buyer with no other monthly debts — your number depends on your debts and credit), this area's median sale price, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
