Lilley Township covers nearly 23,000 acres of land—which is to say, if you're moving here, you're buying space, not proximity. The median home price hovers around $270K, which in West Michigan means you can actually afford the acreage that comes with it. It's the kind of math that makes sense when you're not fighting for a postage-stamp lot an hour outside the city.

To buy a median-priced Lilley home (around $225,000) at today's 6.66% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $36k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $1,341 (principal, interest, property tax, and insurance).
The typical Lilley household earns $51,591 — above what the median home requires. At that income, a buyer can afford roughly $333,000 with 20% down.
| Down payment | Monthly payment | Income needed |
|---|---|---|
| 20% | $1,341/mo | $35,768 |
| 10% (+PMI) | $1,570/mo | $41,874 |
| 5% (+PMI) | $1,647/mo | $43,927 |
Estimates use a 6.66% 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 and median property taxes, plus estimated insurance and PMI below 20% down. Not a commitment to lend, and not an APR — your actual rate and payment will vary.
