Home Affordability by State
What can you afford in Indiana?
A baseline estimate for a household earning $96,000 a year gross, with typical debts and expenses, a $40,000 down payment, and a 740-759 credit score — using Indiana's own property tax and insurance data rather than a national average. Every assumption is editable in the full calculator below.
Indiana's effective property tax rate is around 0.75% of home value per year — the 20th lowest in the country. Average homeowner's insurance runs near $1,900/year on a $300,000 home — the 26th highest.

This baseline's own budget can sustain at least as much as a lender's debt-to-income ceiling allows in Indiana — the DTI ratio, not the household budget, is what limits the number here.
