Oftentimes, home buyers are more concerned about what their monthly payments will be, rather than the price of the house. 

We've gone through the Columbia and Lexington markets and have identified houses we think will be perfect for someone looking to pay approximately $1,500 per month in a house payment. We found that for a purchase price of $225,000 with a 10% down payment, the total monthly payment including estimated taxes, insurance and PMI will be $1,498.
