Home Affordability by State

What can you afford in Kentucky?

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 Kentucky's own property tax and insurance data rather than a national average. Every assumption is editable in the full calculator below.

Kentucky's effective property tax rate is around 0.83% of home value per year — the 23rd lowest in the country. Average homeowner's insurance runs near $2,500/year on a $300,000 home — the 16th highest.

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