The median home price in the USA is just under $360,000. Yes, a few years ago it was around 200, but there are still plenty of properties out there that aren’t 600k+. Obviously where you live will have a big impact. Here are the median home prices for our domicile states:

CA: 673k
GA: 300k
MI: 211k
MN: 294k
NY: 411k
UT: 475k

And since we can commute that opens up even more states. Lots of affordability within a couple hour drive from a domicile. Yes, it’s not going to be a dream house in a dream location, but there are still affordable options out there, especially for people at our income levels.
