Courtimedes

How much is the average home price where you live? $550k in my county in Utah

WhirleyPop

7:08am

My guess is around $300K for a 4-bedroom.

Courtimedes

7:11am

More important is how much it cost when you bought the home.

JuicyJam

7:15am

Your cost of living in the rural Midwest will probably be significantly less

byusage

7:09am

Did you also buy a home pre 2021? That’s another big component of the lack of affordability

RdF3

7:12am

We bought our first home in 2018.

Courtimedes

conetah

Cost of goods, services, living, are high and a one middle class income can't cover it.

TANK

Exponential rises in the cost of healthcare, housing, food, insurance.

rad dawg
