Experts agree that buying a home can be a great way to build wealth, but achieving that goal can be challenging. In a January report, RealtyHop looked at the number of years it takes to save up for a down payment in the 100 most populated U.S. cities. RealtyHop collected the median household income from the U.S. Census Bureau, assumed that a household saves 20% of its annual gross income each year and then calculated the number of years it takes to save up for a down payment using 20% of the median asking price (the cost of a typical down payment) and the amount saved annually.
