Trying to figure out how much Gulf Shores home you can buy with your income can be tricky, even though there are calculators everywhere that are supposed to enable you to figure out exactly how much you can afford. Certain variables not taken into consideration by a calculator can cause your individual figure to differ from someone else. Online calculators can only go just so far in helping you know what you can afford in a Gulf Shores home.
Other than a blip we experienced a few years ago, it's basically the same housing market today, so what has changed in how much you can afford, and how easy or difficult it is for you to obtain a mortgage today?
Higher mortgage rates mean lower borrowing power, so whether you're thinking about buying or selling a Gulf Shores home, you might want to start thinking about how these rate changes will impact you in the future, either from a buying standpoint, or selling your Gulf Shores home. After all, if rates continue to climb, that will affect sellers just as dramatically as it affects buyers.
