BY the Assoeiatsd Press

NEW YORK. Nov. 21.-What
price house can you afford
to buy these days? How have
high income taxes and inflated
prices affected the old guide
posts on home buying?
Some traditional rules-of-
thum for home buyers are:
Pay no more than twice or
twice-and-a-half your annual
income.
A weeks pay should equal a
months house expenses.
The per cent rule: A weeks
pay equals / per cent of the
house price-$50 a week for a
$4,000 house; $100 a week for a
$4,000 house.
Puzzled home shoppers won-
der, however: Do these rules
apply to gross pay or take-home
pay?
The answer is f1at-it's take
home pay that counts. That's
the verdict of many lending Of
f1cialS who rule on which mort
gage risks to accept or reject.
Before Reductions.
In former days, a $100-a-week
man with a wife and two chill
dren was justified under the
ruleS-of thumb in buying $10,-
900 or $12,5OO house.
Today the same man takes
home $88.76 a week. Under the
1 per cent rule, he should buy
an $8,876 house.
Just for kicks (and bearing in
mind inflated home prices), let's
assume this typical man is in
terested in buying what the Ma

'RuIes-of- Thumb Still Good
As Guides for Home BUYERS

Builders calls the Nations typ
ical house." one costing $12,500.
Under a Federal Housing Ad-
ministration insured mortgage
at AZ per cent for 20 years his
monthly payments would be
$67.27; a 25-year mortgage
would be $59.63 a month.
Okay SO far, but an FILA loan
official says this:
"One weeks take-home pay
should match not only the carry
ing charges but also cover local
taxes, fire insurance, heat, light
and upkeep."
Wide Variations.
From one section of the Ma
ton to another such expenses
vary tremendously. But typ
ical" temperate zone expenses
from NAHB and FILA sources
would place our home buyers
total monthly bill at $105 under
a 20-year mortgage and $97
under a 25-year mortgage.
That makes the $88.76 take
home pay look sick.
But. admittedly, a typical
case is seldom found outside q
test tube. Maybe that's why an
American Bankers Association
spokesman said each case must
be considered on it's own merits
when it comes to mortgage ap-
prevails.
Furthermore. a Veterans Ad-
ministration loan official says
that the rule can be stretched to
80 per cent Of take-home pay
under some conditions and even
to 35 per cent in rare hardship
cases.

Urban Housing Starts
Drop 496 in October
With $4,000 Listed

Urban housing starts declined
4 per cent in October, the 3d.
900 starts reported to the Labor
Department being about 1000
less than in September.
This overall decline, the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics said, re-
hected primarily the virtual alb
sence of new public housing
starts during the month. Pri-
vate housing starts were 1000
below the September figure.
Exceptionally good weather
throughout the Nation, plus the
settlement of scattered work
stoppages, and some easing of
uncertainties regarding mort
gage funds contributed to the
less than season decline in pri-
vate housing starts during both
September and October. On a
seasonally adjusted basis, pri-
vate starts were at an annual
rate of 100000 in October,
somewhat better than the Au-
gust and September rate.
During the first 10 months of
1858. privately owned housing
starts alone totaled 919,500,
slightly more than in January
through October. 1852, and above
the total for any comparable
period except in the boom year,
1850. However, because of an
overall decline in public housing
starts this year, the total num-
ber Of private and public dwell
ing units begun Jagged slightly
behind the first 10 months of
1851 and 1852. It was also con-
siderably below the 1850 total
for the same period.
Publicly owned housing starts
dropped from the 5000 units
started in September to less than
so in October, when only a very
few units were put under con-
Struction by a local housing au-
thority. October marked the
first time in over six years that
the monthly housing starts re-
port did not include some public
units.
Private housing activity thus

volume in all regions of the
country except in the Southern
and West North Central regions,
according to reports of building
permits issued. Dwelling unit
authorizations showed prac-
tically no change from Septem-
ber to October.
This indicates a relatively
good volume for November since
many of the units authorized
last month are now being built.
