Home Affordability by State

What can you afford in Georgia?

A baseline estimate for a household earning $90,000 a year gross, with typical debts and expenses, a $30,000 down payment, and a 740-759 credit score — using Georgia's own property tax and insurance data rather than a national average. Every assumption is editable in the full calculator below.

Georgia's effective property tax rate is around 0.79% of home value per year — the 26th highest in the country. Average homeowner's insurance runs near $2,568/year on a $300,000 home — the 22nd highest.

A lender would likely approve up to $349,663 on this baseline in Georgia — but this household's own budget, once real expenses are counted, can only sustain $312,357. That $37,306 gap is exactly the kind of overreach this calculator exists to flag before it becomes a monthly deficit.
