Hi Mark Rates have dropped a whole lot since the 1980s, so all other things being the same a person with the same income could afford a lot more house. I disagree. A 1500 sq ft house that explodes in price from $70,000 to $350,000+ reflects price appreciation gone nuts. (re:1987 thru 2004 - my folks home) The fact - that - Rates have dropped a whole lot since the 1980s, so all other things being the same a person with the same income could afford a lot more house. manifest this price appreciation nutty-ness. regards John
