How it works

A full New York payment is more than principal and interest. At the state's 1.64% effective property tax rate, a $460,000 home owes about $7,544 a year in tax, and homeowners insurance averages roughly $1,500 a year here. Together those add about $754 to the monthly payment before any HOA dues or PMI.

New York's median household income is about $84,000, or $7,000 a month. Lenders generally want the full housing payment under about 28% of that — roughly $1,960 — which is why a median-priced home is comfortable in some metros and a stretch in others. Homes in New York sell in about 60 days on average.
