And the income to home price ratio was around 3. Now it’s around 7. I’d rather have 15% interest rate with a $65k home than 6% at $800k with that factor in mind.

Yeah we have a situation where we bought right as I started school in a house that was immensely affordable even on just my wife’s income. No kids, basically a nice starter home. Now with 2 kids it is tight space wise. But my mortgage payment is 1600/month. To upgrade to a bigger house in a neighborhood we like would be looking at 8500/month. In 2020-2021 those same mortgages would have been about half. We probably should have stretched then and been house poor.

Jumping straight into a 1.5M house is a bit of a choice though. There's plenty of things that would suit just right in the 800k range, yes more picky for neighborhoods but there's plenty of stops along the way before jumping into a retirement property.

850-900 is 7500 a month.

I guess I should say “was”.

Idk what it would be today. We ran the numbers 4 months ago.

Also. It isn’t “straight into”. Like I said we own a house now. Also houses that were 800, are now 1-2-1.3 despite higher rates.
 
I think we'll get pretty drawn out, but I bought 625k on a 6.25% and our payment is 4k. Should be heading towards and IRRL shortly since my wife's law school loans got forgiven.

Me? No I am not. I'm on the why are people writing thought pieces on LinkedIn about a jeans commercial with the most relevant and hottest actresses in the game is a call back to Eugenics...rather than, oh they put a hot girl in their ad to sell jeans, can't believe it took them so long.

So perhaps I'm outraged at the outrage? But y'all remember the 90s when Carl's Jr/Hardee's Super Bowl commercials only had hot girls in them?
