🏡 Can the average household afford a home in the Baltimore–Columbia–Towson area?
Here’s what the numbers say 👇🏽
• A typical monthly mortgage payment is about $2,100
• A household income of around $100K is needed to comfortably qualify
• Housing affordability is better than the national baseline, meaning the median-income household can afford the median-priced home
But here’s the real story 👀
✔️ Most homeowners spend less than 30% of their income on housing
❌ Renters feel the squeeze — many spend 30% or more, making it harder to save for a home
📊 Affordability improves with age and income, especially for buyers 35+
Bottom line:
Buying is still achievable in this market — but how and when you buy matters more than ever.
If you’ve ever wondered “Can I actually afford to buy?” — this is exactly the question these numbers help answer.

Resilience has to be the best word to describe this deal in

Market shifted during the listing period, competition within the same brand over pricing the market area and every agent with an opinion on the home said it wasn’t going to sell.

And here we are….closing date next week.

If trusting the process and relying on GOD and your Realtor needed an example, this transaction was it!

Congratulations to you and your family
