In 2025, buying a home remains out of reach for many Americans as housing prices continue to rise.
A recent report shows that in 35 out of 50 states, a 6-figure income is now required to afford a median-priced 3-bed home.
In more affordable states like Ohio, buyers need a household income of $75,000 to purchase a 3-bed property.
This highlights how even in lower-cost states, the income needed for homeownership is steadily rising.
While the market is tough, homeownership is still achievable with careful planning and smart choices.
