Now that I have 4 cars, I wish I could afford a detached house to keep them at. Sadly this infographic shows the median house price and the income you’d to buy it.

Looks cheap to me. #BayArea. I’m in the lower few green areas, except I’m in San Francisco, so yeah - welcome to the boat. I rent a detached house (with a roomate) outside the city. I get asked all the time whether I own because people are often fishing for whether they should respect me / my salary.

The fact that my boss lives in V ancouver is a great consolation to me, as I look at my mortgage statement in Auckland, the 9th most unaffordable city in the world.

If it makes you feel any better, Sydney-ites and Hong-Kong-wegians are even worse off than you are.

Are these statistics  heavily skewed by the cash- buyer oversea folk?

T hey are obscenely representative of illicit money and straw buyers ballooning prices so high you can see them the other side of the world.

As a single person I feel this pain twice as hard. Strongly considering “need a second good income to get a foot in the housing market” for my Tinder bio

That better be take home pay, cause no way in hell i’d be making pre tax 140k and trying to buy a million dollar home.

Currently selling my house in Michigan in an area centered around the auto industry and moving to the central coast of California. The sticker shock is real. Michigan we have a 0.3 acre, 2000 sq. ft 3 bed, 1.5 bath with a 2 car garage that is going to sell for less than half of the 1300 sq ft condo we are renting in California.

Can always move to WI.

We bought our 3 bedroom house with a 1.5 car garage for $45k.

That chart seems like horse shit. There is no way you can afford an almost million dollar home on less than $200k unless you are completely solo . I don’t even think you could afford that on $300k with a family.

Maple R idge and Pitt Meadows don't look too bad. Disclaimer: I live in Jasper, AB, where friggen mobile homes go for $450,000... For a fixer upper. And you don't even get to own the place, it's just a lease from the government!

How do they suppose someone making $140k/yr can afford a million dollar house? If you finance a million dollars for 30 years that’s still nearly $3,000/mo before taxes, insurance, interest, etc.

Yeah, but it would still be doable with the min down payment. You’d just live like a homeless person ironically due to your home.

I pay $1600 a month in mortgage and don’t even come anywhere close to $140K salary

I can’t believe how cheap Chicagoland is in comparison — I got lucky and needed a house in 2011 when things were still pretty cheap. We totally stole the basic 3-bedroom  house we’re in at $157.

I guess there are different ideas of being able to afford something. Just because you can make the payments doesn’t mean (to me) you can afford it, but sure I guess you could live on ramen and walk to work every day while living in (and maintaining) your $1,000,000 house haha

At least you don’t live in Christ Church where the city is destroyed by an earth quake every 1 0 years. (That is probably not accurate, as I am an ignorant American. )

Mortgage 6-8x income, yeah, I’ll get right on that.

20% down on those incomes, lololol.  Only with help from mommy and daddy (the bootstrapper way).

I think some of the demographics are the same too - illicit funds from a couple places in particular fleeing before the axe falls, as residency is essentially for sale.

No, the cimmaron turnpike is legitimately the worst toll road I’ve ever experienced, and they can’t even  take credit cards.

Yeah, it sucks. At least K-TAG works down here now. Apparently OK will soon transition to the way TX does it and there will be no more toll booths (manned or unmanned). They’ll just take your picture and send you a bill.

With a median listing price of $149,000, Tumbler Ridge is Canada’s 3946th most expensive when ordered by median listing price.

13hr commute.. not bad?
