My wife and I purchased our first home in the early 70s for 67k and scrimped to make the mortgage.
Our kids payed over a hundred k for their houses and scrimped to pay the mortgage.
I see a pattern here.
Right now, because of the shutdown for the pandemic, there aren't as many new houses on the market making the older ones more expensive. Folks are going to have to scrimp to make the mortgage payments. Shocking!

Now consider purchasing power and apply scrutiny.
