most banks are going to go by 25%-30%
whether or not that is high, depends on your situation
when we first bought our house, it was in the 30% range, but we bought our house at the beginning of our earning potential with the plan to stay in the house long term
5 years later, that % has reduced by almost half

Wait, so you are saying if someone makes 100k a year, a bank will pre-approve them for a house that costs 400k?
