The tool then populates a map that highlights local markets where the median home price (from the first quarter of the year) is affordable, based on a few assumptions. For instance, Wahi assumes a 20% downpayment, a mortgage rate of 5.24% (provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/rocketmortgage.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rocket Mortgage<\/a> as of July 14), and a 25-year amortization period. To meet the affordability threshold, households shouldn\u2019t be spending more than 25% of their pre-tax income on monthly mortgage payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWahi\u2019s Roadmap to Housing Affordability highlights the challenges facing many households throughout the province, but it also gives first-time homebuyers valuable insights into places where home prices are more affordable,\u201d says Wahi CEO Benjy Katchen. \u201cThe tool helps Ontarians understand what kind of income they\u2019ll need depending on where they want to live.\u201d <\/span>To afford <a href=\"https:\/\/wahi.com\/ca\/en\/real-estate\/on\/middlesex\/middlesex-centre\">Middlesex Centre<\/a>\u2019s median home price of $885,000 \u2014 the most expensive in the London area \u2014 households need to earn a combined income of $225,000. (Note this doesn\u2019t include savings, help from relatives, or other factors that may help a household purchase a home.) This means that households in Middlesex Centre actually need to earn more than residents in Old Toronto, which includes the city\u2019s downtown core and some of Toronto\u2019s oldest neighbourhoods, to afford a local median-priced home. In Old Toronto, the median home price was $785,000 in the first quarter, requiring a household income of $200,000.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider show_divider=&#8221;off&#8221;
