$750k is a price point, not a household answer. The useful question is how that price compares with the local source row and how fast that row has moved.
Aspire's rates.json keeps Zillow ZHVI rows for major metros. This page compares a $750k budget with those rows. The table does not include mortgage rates, down payment constraints, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, repairs, closing costs, school districts, commute tradeoffs, or inventory quality.
Use it as a first pass. If a metro's ZHVI row is below $750k, the budget is above that broad metro row. If the row is above $750k, the budget is below that broad metro row. Then take the starting price into the Future Home Tracker and change the assumptions.
The trailing 10-year CAGR column is there because the same housing row can be used to model what the goal may cost later, at these assumptions. A high CAGR does not make a metro good or bad. It shows how quickly that source row moved over the visible source window.
Metro comparison table
The table compares $750,000 with each Zillow ZHVI metro source row already committed in Aspire's rates.json. The CAGR column is source-derived and shown only as a trailing-rate assumption, at these assumptions.
