California had the most cities with homes valued over $1 million, totaling 210. New York had 66, while New Jersey — which experienced the largest year-over-year increase — had 49.
Zillow noted that limited housing inventory keeps pushing home values up, and according to the National Association of Realtors, prices are expected to remain elevated this spring.
$1.5M is recommended for a 30-year retirement today. That’s assuming you already own a home.
With retirement at 65 and average US lifespan at ~77, 30 years is pretty optimistic.
30 years is assuming perfect health until death. $1.5M is $60K/yr for 30 years. It’ll go a lot faster if you fall ill.
Alternatively, you don’t want to be the healthy 92-year-old that runs out of money and gets evicted.
