For Denver house hunters or those just keeping track of rising housing costs, here’s another thing that is also on the rise: the minimum salary to get a home loan.

According to HSH.com, which tracks the mortgage industry, homebuyers in Denver need to make at least $81,349, which is 11.2 percent more than they needed a year ago. That minimum salary is based on putting 20 percent down for the house.

And if you’re like a number of home buyers who put down just 10 percent, you’ll need to make $95,341.87.

Denver is the nation’s ninth most expensive metro area based on salary needed to buy a median-priced home, according to HSH. Denver is the only city on the 10 most expensive list that is not on the coast. San Jose ranked number one, followed by San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, Seattle and Washington D.C.

The numbers are based National Association of Realtors’ 2017 second-quarter data showing Denver’s median home price is $424,500, which is up 7.63 percent from last year. For all metro Denver, The Denver Post reported in August that the median price for single-family homes was flat at $410,000.

Nationwide, the median home price is $255,600, up 6.19 percent from last year. With 20 percent down, a prospective home owner would need to make $56,159 in income, which is up 8.5 percent from a year earlier.
