How it works

Lenders cap the full housing payment — principal, interest, property tax, insurance — near 28% of gross monthly income, and all debt payments near 36%. In Oklahoma, property tax at about 0.90% of value plus roughly $4,400 a year of homeowners insurance come to about $517 a month on the median home, and that comes out of the 28% budget before anything goes to the loan. On the median income the housing budget is about $1,456 a month, leaving $931 for principal and interest.

Homes in Oklahoma spend about 40 days on the market on average. Oklahoma has some of the most affordable home prices and a near-average property tax rate, but it also has the highest average homeowners insurance premium in the country because of tornado and hail losses.

Does Oklahoma's income tax affect how much house I can afford?
Not in the lender's math, which uses gross income. It does affect what's comfortable: Oklahoma's income tax tops out at 4.50%, so take-home pay is smaller than gross by more than federal tax alone.
