Banker's Take on 6.0%
This rate is close to the 30-year historical average. Not a crisis, not a bargain. At 6.0%, your monthly payment on a $800K home is $3,837. Over 30 years, you'll pay the bank $741,320 in interest alone — 116% of what you borrowed.
To qualify, most lenders want your total monthly debt (including this payment) to stay under 43% of your gross monthly income. That means earning at least $164K/year with no other significant debt.
