Money.comYou Now Need to Earn Six Figures to Afford the Typical Home in the U.S.

"To afford the $2,682 monthly mortgage payment on a typically priced U.S. home, the real estate brokerage Redfin finds that a prospective homebuyer needs to earn at least $107,281 a year. Redfin considers a mortgage payment to be affordable if it accounts for 30% or less of a homebuyer’s annual income.

That $107,000 threshold represents a jump of more than 45% from last year, when a homebuyer only needed to earn $73,668 to afford a typically priced home".

They don’t count the Midwest.

Good thing I bought both my houses in WV. Plus it was before all this. 
 

Also, I paid cash for them, so the interest rate isn’t a concern of mine
