Home Affordability by State

What can you afford in Minnesota?

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

Minnesota's effective property tax rate is around 1.00% of home value per year — the 17th highest in the country. Average homeowner's insurance runs near $2,688/year on a $300,000 home — the 18th highest.

Risky ceiling

A lender would likely approve up to $341,119 on this baseline in Minnesota — but this household's own budget, once real expenses are counted, can only sustain $305,404. That $35,715 gap is exactly the kind of overreach this calculator exists to flag before it becomes a monthly deficit.
