Several cities - Portland, Sacramento, Miami, and Denver - appear on the list of highest-priced metro areas for the first time.

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.
