Suzanne Seini from Innovate Realty discusses California's sky-high real estate prices and what first time homebuyers can do to bring down costs.

LOS ANGELES - Living in California is expensive - as you probably already know.

So where do you fall when it comes to the median income in your county?

Each year, the California Department of Housing and Community Development publishes an updated list of state income limits for each of California's 58 counties.

The income limits reflected in the data are broken down into six categories - acutely low, extremely low, very low, low, and moderate.

SUGGESTED:

Three out of the top five cities with the highest income thresholds for the middle class are located in the Bay Area. These middle income residents need to make at least $81,623 in San Francisco, $84,673 in San Jose and $104,499 in Fremont. By comparison, Seattle residents similarly need to make at least $74,223.

Take this into consideration - households that earn up to $311,936 per year in Fremont,are still technically considered middle class.

These are the median income limits for a family of four in every category of every California county:
