Understanding the Buying Power Gap
Interest rates have a massive impact on home affordability. When rates go up, the portion of your monthly payment that goes towards interest increases, leaving less money to pay off the actual principal of the loan.
This calculator shows the real-world impact of rate changes by calculating the maximum home you can afford for the exact same monthly payment in two different scenarios. The difference between those two maximum home prices is your "Buying Power Gap."
