About the same here in Seattle. It makes saving for a down payment even more depressing.
I don't understand who is able to buy these houses when my partner and I can't as software engineer + physician assistant. Maybe it's just because we're not willing to decrease or dip into our retirement savings and we have no help from parents.
I just don't feel comfortable taking out a jumbo mortgage. Even though we could make the numbers work, I'm not confident either of us won't burn out from our stressful careers.
