A lot of it has to do with location. You can find a better house for the money in another location.

That's because you're trying to live within your budget unlike so many now that have over bought. I can't understand a president that wants to bail out people that are living beyond their means and bail them out with my tax dollars. I live in a small house that I can afford. I'd love to have a great big house with all the goodies and have someone else pay for it. Keep looking and don't rely on real estate agents to give you the best options for your $. If you can't afford a house in a great neighborhood, you may have to look in another area. The right one will come along-just keep looking. It's a buyer's market.

housing prices are dependent on what the market will bear....so what you like....they can sell at that price....
in the meantime...find homes that are in the same price range as your rent and choose from that list....
as your income increases due to your promotions and pay raises and because of inflation in the next 30 years...you will be able to afford more house at a later time but still take advantage of home ownership tax breaks and other benefits

are u missing the point?
if the houses are out of ur income , don't try to buy. the house mortgage is only half the equation.
buy the one u can afford and fix it up with cash only. u can work extra jobs and learn new trades in the repairs of house.
Oh u will not be a slave to debt as much.

I would suggest you look into the auctions that different banks and other businesses have for foreclosed homes. You may not have as much control over the type of house you want, but there are really some great deals out there.
