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 Wyoming, property tax at about 0.56% of value plus roughly $1,600 a year of homeowners insurance come to about $292 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 $1,680 a month, leaving $1,380 for principal and interest.

Homes in Wyoming spend about 55 days on the market on average. Wyoming has no state income tax, a low state sales-tax rate, and one of the lowest property tax rates in the country, though Teton County's resort market pulls the statewide median well above what most of the state pays.

Not directly — lenders qualify you on gross income. But Wyoming doesn't tax wages, so more of each paycheck is left for the payment than in an income-tax state.
