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.

          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.
