My wife sold a nice condo for 50k a couple years ago. It was to a single woman who'd never made more than $10 an hour.



Which is about right according to the 3x your salary equation.

Not sure what market that's in but my partner paid $150k in 2004 for a condo just ITP of Atlanta behind a run down shopping center in a gentrified neighborhood, the neighborhood still ain't great but the condo today it's worth around $250k which would require you to make around $40 an hour.


It was in Houston. It was in a suburb that wasn't great but wasn't crime ridden either.
