What makes our home affordability calculator better?
Other online calculators use various rules of thumb to estimate how much house you can afford, such as "you should never spend more than 43% of your income on a mortgage". We take a different approach. Our home affordability calculator takes your information, checks the latest interest rates, and runs a quick automated underwriting process based on the thousands of combinations of loan products and rates that are available to our borrowers.
Going house hunting? Get certainty.
If you’re ready to go house hunting in earnest, we strongly recommend getting our basic pre-approval. You’ll provide us with a few pieces of information, and we'll give you a quote for how much you can get approved to borrow from Better Mortgage. If you’re house hunting in a competitive market, this can give your offer an edge over other bidders. But don’t take our word for it.
“Being able to get pre-approved through Better Mortgage really gave us a significant advantage over other buyers, the seller felt much more confident working with us.”
