The Johnsons have accumulated a nest egg of $40,000 that they intend to use as a down payment toward the purchase of a new house. Because their present gross income has placed them in a relatively high tax bracket, they have decided to invest a minimum of $2200/month in monthly payments (to take advantage of the tax deduction) toward the purchase of their house. However, because of other financial obligations, their monthly payments should not exceed $2500. If the Johnsons decide to secure a 15-year mortgage, what is the price range of houses that they should consider when the local mortgage rate for this type of loan is 2%/year compounded monthly?
