To afford a $1 million home, a buyer typically needs an annual income of around $220,000, according to an analysis by Fortune. This figure is based on a 20% down payment, a 30-year fixed mortgage at a 7% interest rate, and the assumption that housing costs should not exceed 30% of gross income. The calculation also factors in property taxes, homeowners insurance, and mortgage insurance if the down payment is less than 20%. The required income can vary significantly depending on local property taxes, insurance rates, and other regional costs, but the $220,000 benchmark provides a general guideline for prospective buyers in the current economic climate.
