[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a similar income and bought $750K and are still saving a ton of money each month.  However, we put 20% down so our mortgage is a lot less than yours will be.  Also, your savings is really low (and we're a little younger than you guys) so I suspect you spend a lot more than we do.

Off the cuff and without knowing your budget you're probably better off closer to the $500-$600 range unless you can do a serious overhaul of your budget.[/quote]

OP, you can save more for downpayment until you actually get pregnant. This would help by upping the price range and you won't have to pay monthly PMI.  Unfortunately in this are 500K will be very tight to buy into a good school district especially if you want SFH. [/quote]

Agreed on the savings being low. We have close to $500K even having two kids. (Same income range, age as you.) Think you will probably need to spend $750+ to get a house with good schools and close in. We are currently looking at spending $800K-$1M but with a bigger downpayment. Save now![/quote]
