>You’re only “qualified” for what you can make the down payment on
You sound like you've never applied for a loan.
>You seem to have rose colored glasses.
You seem to consider only the housing you cannot afford "decent" and then complain as if it's the reality.

- tristor 3y agoI live in a much cheaper area than the SFBA (Denver), and anything decent starts at $1.2M, if you find a house here for $600K, it’s what’s considered “bulldoze ready”, empty lots with sewer, water, power already connected go for $550K+. If you think something you can buy in SFBA under $1M is livable rather than “bulldoze ready”, you are the one that is out of touch.
- pandaman 3y agoI am not sure how your observation in Denver translates to SFBA? Some teardowns/lots will go for $550K or more, depending on location. It does not mean a house under $1M is unlivable in SFBA. Teardowns do not have staged interior pictures on Zillow, JFYI.
