Well, yeah. I live in Seattle, where the median household income is $115k, which would mean a home would have to cost around $350k to be affordable, given the 30% of income rule of thumb. The median home price in Seattle is $816k. Hmm, now that I think about it, that's still affordable if you can afford a modest $500k down payment. Most couples I know who both make around $60k a year have at least that much in the bank. Never mind please disregard, everything is actually fine.
