Taking the Stress Out of Home Buying: Introducing the "I Want a House" Platform's New Housing Credit Tool
Get ready, young homebuyers! The "I Want a House" platform has just upped its game. It now offers a nifty tool designed to help you manage your housing credit game like a pro. Here's what you can expect:
- Calculating Your Economic Burden: Maybe you're wondering how much of your income should go towards housing credit. Enter the scene, the so-called effort rate! This tool allows you to quickly determine the percentage of your income dedicated to housing credit, ensuring you're staying within the healthy limits.
- Knowing Your Bank's Limits: Let's face it, banks can be tricky. But fear not! This tool helps you estimate the amount you can borrow from the bank, and for those not eligible for public guarantee, it even calculates the maximum cost of the property you can afford without support.
Soraia Leite, a spokesperson for Deco Proteste, said, "In a skyrocketing housing market, knowledge is power. This tool empowers young homebuyers to make informed decisions."
While I couldn't find specific details about the "I Want a House" platform in Portugal, I can guide you on general principles to navigate home buying. Here are some pointers:
- Calculating the Housing Credit Effort Rate: To determine the effort rate, divide your total monthly housing costs by your gross monthly income. Keep it below recommendations to maintain financial health.
- Estimating Your Maximum Loan Amount: Financial institutions in Portugal assess loan amounts by using a debt-to-income ratio. Generally, this ratio is capped at around 30% to 40% of your net income.
For more in-depth calculations and personalized advice, consider consulting a financial advisor or a buyer's agent.

Viva la home ownership, folks! Shop smart, and happy hunting!
