I could not afford to buy my own home now.
Where I live any home under 250/foot is a deal and I'm in Nashville not Westchester.
I looked at a home that sold for 220K back in 98, 525K in 2003 and asking 795K now
and we thought it was a deal...not that we could afford it
some schlub with a net worth of one to two million ain't gonna be buying a house like that....normally unless is income is also 3-400K/year

You can find nice homes in my area for around $50/sq ft. My house was purchased for $46/sq ft in 2000. It's just a little more now. I purchased another 2068 sq ft house last year for $82,900 (40/sq ft). Our gas prices are also the lowest in the nation right now.

Holy cow, Nashville is over $250/ft2! In Houston it's still common to find a majority of houses under $150/ft2 even if you don't travel out to the burbs.
