I preemptively apologize for this attempt to hijack the discussion, but does $200,000 seem high for a median?
I'm a reasonably well compensated developer in the Boston area and it still seems high.
- masukomi 18y agoAre you kidding?! $200k in Boston would be a freaking steal. People would almost literally kill for that. I'm in cambridge and all the 2 bedroom condos on the blocks around me are $450k and up. And that's a CONDO with shared walls.
- biohacker42 18y agoYes, that's Cambridge, 200K is not high there. But what about nationally? I'm in the exurbs of Boston, and 200K as median just feels bubbly.
- kragen 18y agoOnly 5% of the population lives in the US. $200k in Buenos Aires is a mansion.
- donw 18y ago$200k won't buy you a shack in San Jose., which is probably one of the cheaper areas to live in the Silicon Valley. But it's getting close. :)
- pchristensen 18y agoPre-crash, median home price is about $240K (not sure if it has fallen and by how much). Median condo price was actually higher (~$250K) because condos were generally only in more expensive metros.
