"first-time home buyers in the city looking to purchase a home will need to save at least $16,427 a year—or $45.01 per day—for five years in order to afford a median home price of $547,575.

Researchers based their findings on saving for a down payment of $82,136, or 15%."

Your mileage may vary. I did it in less time with $30,000 down on a $390,000 house, but that was also in 2021 with 3.25% interest.

    Lol bruh. That median price is only heading in one direction, and you ain’t gonna catch it saving $45/day.

      Yeah, more like “you’d have to have been saving $45 a day starting 5 years ago…”
