Sunset Park Home Affordability

In 2007, the median household income in Brooklyn was $40,942². Home affordability guidelines suggest that no more than 30% of household income be spent servicing a home loan. For the median Brooklyn household, this would have meant that a monthly mortgage payment should not have exceeded $1,024 using the 2007 average mortgage rate of 6.34%³. Combining this with 2007 property sales records, we can calculate that the median income household could have potentially afforded approximately 7.91% of the homes and apartments sold in Sunset Park in all of 2007.
