You need to earn $221,592 to afford a typical home in LA

An analysis from the real estate site Redfin finds that would-be homeowners now need to earn $200,000 or more in eight U.S. cities, including L.A. This is because the average rate for a 30-year fixed loan is now hovering near 7%. Mortgage payments rose by an average of nearly 46% over the last year.

The typical U.S. homebuyer needs to pull down about $107,000 a year to afford a median monthly mortgage payment of roughly $2,700. Only a year ago, your salary needed to be closer to $74,000.

But some locations are much, much more expensive than others. In L.A., the median home price is $823,500. That means, by Redfin’s calculation, you need an annual income of $221,592 to make the numbers work.
