How much house can I afford in Colorado?

A common guideline is to keep your total monthly housing payment at or below about 28% of your gross monthly income, though the right number depends on your debts, down payment, and comfort level. Use the calculator above to test different prices, then talk with a lender to confirm your budget.

What is included in a monthly mortgage payment?

Most payments have four parts, often called PITI: principal, interest, property taxes, and homeowners insurance. If you put down less than 20%, private mortgage insurance is usually added, and homes in an HOA community carry separate dues on top.

Do I need 20% down to buy a home in Colorado?

No. Many buyers put down far less. Conventional loans can go as low as 3%, FHA loans require 3.5%, and VA and USDA loans offer zero down for those who qualify. Colorado's CHFA program also offers down payment assistance for eligible buyers.
