furioussugar said:You hear all the time that the cost of housing shouldn't exceed a certain %. And with the run up in prices lately, I often wonder how far families are stretching their budgets to buy here. Of course, Irvine is VERY special
What do you think is the average % of income people are now spending to buy in Irvine? All cash doesn't count as well as people who purchased more than 10 years ago.
Of course, this is an entirely subjective question- but I'm curious as to what everyone here thinks the % of housing costs (P&I, HOA and taxes) are against gross income.
Wow, good thing I bought when I did or else I would have been priced out forever and would have to get on the list for one of those affordable housing units.test said:furioussugar said:You hear all the time that the cost of housing shouldn't exceed a certain %.

You are thinking like the poor white man. If you think like the poor white man you will never become like the rich yellow man. The reason there is so much affordable housing in Irvine is because the rich yellow man is squeezing the poor white man out and the poor white man petition the government to create more affordable housing so he can stay.

Sorry you mean 50-60% of gross income?
If monthly housing is 5-6% of YOUR income then I think you can consider moving to Newport or Palos Verdes...
