stop exaggerating 150 k is not the new 60 k but it is when it comes to housing this house is for sale for $450,000 do you wanna guess what the monthly payment would be today $3,700 now do you wanna take a guess on what this sold for just 8 years ago two hundred thousand dollars and you know what the monthly payment was a whopping thirteen hundred dollars for the average family in 2 thousand sixteen was making sixty thousand dollars this house was only about 26% of their gross income they could qualify they could easily move into this beautiful house fast forward to today the median household income sits around $80,000 first of all they cannot qualify for this house but for it to feel the exact same as those individuals in 2016 who bought this house they would need to make 170 thousand dollars for it to be 26% of their gross income and then you have people accusing the Gen Zers and millennials of being fancy and wanting too much that house was average just eight years ago but now it’s looked at as way out of the price range where you need to make 170,000
