Most homes within hour of city is around that much. That’s just the median home price these days.


Fine. Then this poster can't afford to live there or they need to find something below the median. You can't have champagne taste on a beer budget, and then flip about the high cost of living in an area. I would keel over with a house note that big.

And I'm sorry, but a $500k house is really expensive for the vast majority of people.

I mean for most cities outside of top (which is the case here since 500k is non existant in nyc sf etc), 160k isn’t a bad income

FWIW to everyone on here, my hometown housing prices start at 700-800k and a lot of my old neighborhood are now going for 1.5M and above.

So to me 300-500k for a house feels like a beer budget.
