I'm not sure I believe affordability calculators

Hi all - I've been trying to get an idea of what hubby & I can afford for a house.  Mortgage calculators are all over the place.  Planning to buy Spring/Summer 2015, we have a place to sell, but will most likely break-even with no profit Smiley Sad .

 

Here's our info:

Credit Scores (pulled at refi in January 2014)

Exp:  764 & 738

TU:  744 & 780

Equifax: 757 & 778

 

Gross income: $112,000.00

 

Debt:

Car payments (2): $860/month (3.5 years left on each)

Student Loans (2):  $360/month

Credit Cards:  About $4000 total, $3200 @ 0% and all will be paid in full by October 2014. 

Savings:  $13000.00

401k:  $5000.00

Pension: $22000.00

No late payments, judgements, liens, etc. etc. 

 

Live in Illinois where property taxes are approx. 2.5% in areas we are looking.  Will probably try for 5% down conventional loan.

 

What do you guys think we could get approved for?

 

Thanks for any input!!Smiley Happy

Probably about $380k would be the max on conventional financing with 5% down.
