I don't consider $493,900 the least-bit affordable for most families on a 50 - 60k income.

It's true that in many parts of the country $500K is an outrageous price for a house but in the nicer suburbs of Boston it's chickenfeed.

OTOH,the median in these same suburbs is in excess of $100K/yr.

Doesn't change my analysis - I still don't know how people making 50 - 60k could even DREAM of affording that.

Even at 100k I'd be a bit nervous spending 500k on a house, truth be told...
