Wondering how much mortgage you’ll have to bite off to buy a house in your state? Or how your current mortgage measures up?

In many states, the numbers will vary widely depending on which part of the state you are buying in. A home in New York City, for example, will generally cost a lot more than a place in Buffalo. That said, average home values and monthly mortgage payments can give potential buyers a pretty good idea of what they’re in for from state to state.

As for the variance between states, let’s put it this way: There’s one state where a 20% down payment on a home means forking over nearly $190,000, and then still paying more than $5,000 every month for 30 years. In another state, that 20% down payment will run you just $34,000 and leave you with a monthly payment of less than $900.

Quite a contrast.

To give you a state-by-state breakdown of average home values and average monthly mortgage rates, GOBankingRates has blended data from the Zillow Home Value Index and Federal Reserve. Our list includes how much money you’ll have to put down in each state to hit the 10%, 15% and 20% marks, along with the average monthly payments each will leave you with. Here’s our state-by-state list, in alphabetical order.

Methodology: For this study, GOBankingRates analyzed the average single-family home value in each state (as sourced from the Zillow Home Value Index). Using the national 30-year fixed mortgage rate (as sourced from Federal Reserve Economic Data), the average mortgage cost was calculated. Mortgage rates were determined for down payments of 10%, 15%, and 20%. All data was collected and is up to date as of March 5, 2024.
