We have houses that size on tinier lots, but they're not
multi-family, and they're not generally that expensive.

You have to take Zillow numbers with a grain of salt, but
still, that's a good ballpark number.

My Dad used to say the house you could afford was 4x your
salary. Of course, he was saying that in the days of 8%
or 10% mortages, but still, I doubt folks in that area have
anything close to $150k annual incomes. They must be hurting
to have to pay that much for a house.
