Over the last year it seems like more people are really stretching this to 3-4x annual income.
Holy shite. The principal of my mortgage is 1x our combined household income. It's plenty of house for us, in a great area. We did put a decent chunk of change into renovations, but no loans for that.

My wife and I both make a bit more than when we bought the house 2 years ago, but it was still <1.25x at that time.

Ok… congrats on making like $300-$500k/year?

This is just not the norm for 95%+ of homeowners.

So you either bring home 400k+ (not the norm), or you live in a 140k shack (also not the norm).
