So, remember when a $67K salary could get you a house? Not anymore! Now you need to make at least $114K to snag a typical home, thanks to soaring prices and higher mortgage rates. That means even if you’re earning the national average, you’re priced out in most cities. The wildest part? In places like San Jose, you’d need to pull in $370K just to buy a regular house. Time to rethink those Zillow daydreams or consider a roommate (or three)! #HomeBuying #MoneyTalk #RealEstate #LifeHacks
