My salary didn’t change at all, but homes went up 82%. The money I saved for a down payment and my salary no longer are good enough for this home and many others. This ain’t even a “good” home either. It was a 200k meh average ok home before. Now it’s simply unaffordable
If it makes you feel any better, that house would sell for at least double that price where I live.
At least triple the price in my area. 4x if the schools are good.
