To buy a median-priced Railview Ridge No.2 home (around $857,490) at today's 6.67% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $154k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $5,785 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Down paymentMonthly paymentIncome needed
20% $5,785/mo$154,264
10% (+PMI)$6,658/mo$177,549
5% (+PMI)$6,952/mo$185,380

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.
