What it takes to buy a $1M home today comes down to the numbers. Most buyers need household income in the mid-$200,000s and a monthly payment around $6K to $7K.
You will also need a strong down payment, solid credit, and written pre-approval. Rates and taxes can change the payment, so the exact figure depends on your situation.
