What's shaping this

  • Single applicant, 0 dependants
  • Based on about 5× your gross household income
  • Living expenses floored at 20% of gross (~$2,000/mo minimum)
  • Assessed at 9.50% — a 3.0% buffer (assumed rate)
  • Budget assumes a 20% deposit

*Budget assumes a 20% deposit. Deposit required ≈ 26% of price (20% deposit plus stamp duty & costs). Real capacity varies by lender policy.
