Compared to the previous quarter, home prices, monthly mortgage payments, and estimated salaries decreased across the board.
The site looked at median home prices from the National Association of Realtors, along with interest rates for common 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages and property taxes and insurance costs, to figure out how much money it would take to pay a median-priced home's mortgage principal, taxes, and insurance - and how much you would have to earn to afford it.
Salaries listed are rounded to the nearest $500.
