<prompt> Human: So, my wife and I are in the market for a new home. We need want a playroom for the kids, a pool, a large lot, an office for my wife, and good schools. We grossed approximately 340k last year, and should do a bit better this year, but we havent earned that much for that long.We have about 120k in cash to put down, but there might be about a 25-30 swing down in total income over the next few years with changes to my industry.Only debt that we have is about 500 in car payments now. So I ask the PF gurus of Reddit: How much can we afford with a property tax rate of 2-3, and still be comfortable with savings and what not?Thanks!  <response>: Depends on your non-housing expenses, but 1M might be a reasonable maximum.
