TrueAffordHome Affordability by State
What can you afford in Michigan?
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 Michigan's own property tax and insurance data rather than a national average. Every assumption is editable in the full calculator below.
Michigan's effective property tax rate is around 1.19% of home value per year — the 14th highest in the country. Average homeowner's insurance runs near $2,292/year on a $300,000 home — the 24th highest.

A lender would likely approve up to $339,196 on this baseline in Michigan — but this household's own budget, once real expenses are counted, can only sustain $303,835. That $35,361 gap is exactly the kind of overreach this calculator exists to flag before it becomes a monthly deficit.
