The short answer is yes.. you should be able to afford this home.. For conventional financing, you cannot be over 45% debt to income, which for you means that your new housing payment as well as your existing payments on outstanding debt, cannot exceed $2325 per month. But without looking at your complete loan scenario, it's difficult to say.. certain property types like condo's for example can have some pretty hefty monthly association dues.. while other areas have extremely high property taxes.. all this is calculated into your DTI ratios..

With the limited information provided, it would appear you would debt-to-income ratio qualify for that purchase price. But the best answer would be obtained by your local mortgage professional. Contact a broker in your area, give them a full application, and let them zero in on what will work best for you. For homes in MN, WI, and SD, visit www.MortgagesUnlimited.biz
