I reckon around where we live it's 400-500. Houses are worth much much more, but it's been a growth area. A lot of people bought 10+ years ago and their homes have gained a lot of value.

We fit the 3 x combined income model when I'm working, but because I'm not currently, it's more like 4.5 times. So things are tight, but we think it's worth it to have me home with the kiddlies.

I hate seeing people take on huge mortgages just because they can, then whingeing about them later.
