Should I buy a $1 million dollar home?

Yes why not. But first you have to confirm that you have many daily based expenses as well like;
  • Auto /Transportation expense
  • Charitable Donations expense
  • Child Care expense
  • Clothing expense
  • Debt Payments expense
  • Entertainment expense
  • Groceries / Dining Out expense
  • Fitness expense
  • Gifts Given (Christmas & birthday gifts, etc.) expense
  • Hobbies expense
  • Household Maintenance expense
  • Insurance other than medical/dental expense
  • Investments expense
  • Medical/Dental expense
  • Miscellaneous expense
  • Savings
  • Subscription expense
  • Utilities expense
  • Vacation expense
And many other expenses
And if you have enough income after all these expenses than you should buy a house worth $1M or more
So if you wish to get a mortgage of $1M
1: Your PITI should less than 28% of your gross salary.
PITI is principal: Interest: Taxes: Insurance.
Calculation:
$1,000,000*28/100=$280,000
2: Your DTI should less than 36% of your gross salary.
DTI contains:
Mortgage, credit card payments, child support and other loan payments
Calculation:
$1,000,000*36/100=$360,000
3: Down payment of 20%.
$1,000,000*20/100=$200,000
Remember; down payment directly affect your total amount of mortgage.
More the down payment will minimize the interest rate on mortgage.
According to a survey a person can get a mortgage double or even more than double of his salary, so if you are willing to get a mortgage of 1M your salary or income must be;
$1,000,000/2= $500,000
$1,000,000/2.5= $400,000

Generally speaking, is a $100,000 salary good enough for someone living in the Southern California area with a small family?

Yes it is good only if you manage your life style, because it all depends on life style, if someone can’t manage his/her life style, believe me $1M is also not enough.
So if you manage your life style you can get even your own house through mortgage.
All you need to calculate some things like;
1: Your PITI must be
$100,000*28/100=$28,000
PITI is principal: Interest: Taxes: Insurance.
2: Your DTI must be
$100,000*36/100=$36,000
DTI contains:
Mortgage, credit card payments, child support and other loan payments
3: Down payment of 20%.
Remember; down payment directly affect your total amount of mortgage.
More the down payment will minimize the interest rate on mortgage.
According to survey a person can easily afford mortgage double or even more than the double of his gross salary.
So according to your salary
$100,000*2= $200,000
$175,000*2.5=$250,000
You can easily afford from $200,000 to $250,000 if DTI and PITI is under control.

Can I afford 800-850K Home in bay area if I earn 140K? My situation is, I have a family with 3 yrs old kid and wife doesn't work.

Why you want to make your life difficult?

According to your family size you have nice income in which you can easily bear there all expenses.
But if you thought to get a house worth 800-850k, it is not good.
Because according to survey a person can easily afford mortgage 2 to 2.5 times of his gross salary.

Some main things:

1: Before taking on such a huge debt, take some time and think or talk to your family.
2: Look at your personal situation, and think about your lifestyle, not just now, but for future.
3: That dream home may be everything you've wanted at a great price now, but is it worth overextending yourself and your family?
4: Will you be mortgaging not only your house, but your entire lives as well?
5: A lender helps you literally buy a home. But the real person who should decide if you can actually afford it is you.
