This year, the Chicago-area house from "Home Alone" and the iconic "Full House" townhouse in San Francisco hit the market with asking prices in the millions.

If you've ever wondered what it would cost to own the properties from some of your favorite movies and TV shows like "Scarface", "Mean Girls", "Twilight" and "The Sopranos" — or if you'd ever be able to afford it — a recent study has some answers.

In June, CardRates.com examined 25 iconic houses featured on screen. Using Zillow's estimated home values and Bankrate's mortgage calculator, the report determined the monthly mortgage rates and the annual income required to afford each property.

The mortgage rates were determined assuming a 20% down payment, a 30-year fixed loan, and the current interest rate as of June 2024, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

Some of the properties in CardRates.com's report are currently on the market and the amounts indicated are the current list prices.
