This means that a first-time homebuyer needs to earn an annual salary of around $64,500 — which is over $10,000 higher than the average wage of Americans aged 25-34 — and up 13% from $57,222 a year ago.

I wonder how the average price can be so low. My entry-level house was more than that, and I bought it ten years ago at the end of the Great Recession, when houses had just finished losing a ton of value.

Canada feels this too. $243k might get you a 1 bedroom condo in a small town.
