They do not include mortgage insurance (PMI or FHA monthly MIP), which applies with less than 20% down, or HOA dues. The FHA loan amount includes the 1.75% upfront mortgage insurance premium. These are examples based on the median price, not the sample loan used in the rate table above.

How much income do you need to buy a home in Colorado Springs?

A common lender guideline is to keep your total housing payment (principal, interest, estimated Colorado Springs property taxes, and estimated homeowners insurance) at or below 28% of your gross monthly income. Gross income is what you earn before taxes and other deductions come out of your paycheck. Based on that guideline, here's the yearly household income needed for Colorado Springs's $484,900 median home:

20% down · Conventional$3,235/mo payment $138,650/yrabout $11,554/mo before taxes
5% down · Conventional$3,725/mo payment $159,651/yrabout $13,304/mo before taxes
3.5% down · FHA$3,749/mo payment $160,690/yrabout $13,391/mo before taxes

Why this matters: Keeping housing costs near 28% of your income leaves room for other bills, savings and the upkeep that comes with owning a home. It's a planning guideline, not a hard limit.

What lenders look at: Lenders also look at your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, which adds your car, student loan and credit card payments to the new mortgage payment. Depending on the loan program and your credit, many lenders allow total debts of roughly 43% to 50% of gross income, so you may qualify with less income than shown, or need more if you carry other debt.

Household income counts: If you're buying with a partner or co-borrower, lenders can combine your incomes.
