To buy a median-priced Thomas Lake home (around $609,000) at today's 6.67% 30-year fixed rate with 20% down, you'd need roughly $110k/year in household income to qualify — an estimated monthly payment of $4,109 (principal, interest, property tax est., and insurance).

Down paymentMonthly paymentIncome needed
20% $4,109/mo$109,560
10% (+PMI)$4,729/mo$126,097
5% (+PMI)$4,937/mo$131,659

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.
