53k median income with a199k median home price really isn’t that good….it’s just a commentary on the fact we are not as shitty as other places.
53k income buying a 200k home is a giant stretch. If you’re doing the 3.5% down for an FHA you’re looking at a 1430 monthly payment at a 6.61 APR. 53k yearly income means your’re probably taking home 3k a month? That’s the definition of paycheck to paycheck since that 1430 doesn’t include any utilities
