We are a “blue collar” (do we still use that term?) family of 5; one working adult, one stay-home adult, three kids 0-6... Gross income varies but minimum $90,000 (this year $120,000), but will continue to rise steadily, with possibility of promotion. No debt other than car payment and obviously our utilities. Will be using a VA loan, 2.75 interest rate. We already have someone but won’t be ready until summer so haven’t talked price yet.

If you’re similar to this, what would be your home buying budget?

My husband price seems expensive... he’s very good with money but I’m still worried expectations are too high. I know you can look it up… and it’s actually shown higher than his estimate. I grew up low-income so that may be where my anxiety comes from in such a high price.

SORRY IF WRONG GROUP... This is my only social media to ask and idk which one is most appropriate lol.
