You're not alone. Trust me. I have no clue how people are affording these housing considering the median household income in RI.

I got lucky and bought in 2020 right before the rate hikes and the market skyrocketed.

I would not be able to afford the house I'm in now at these prices.

That's where I'm at too. Bought in 2018 for what is now a super low price, then refinanced in 2021 for what's now a super low rate. It's so unfair how someone just like me is totally screwed out of being able to buy a house, just because they're doing it a few years later.

I just can’t understand how it’s even allowed to charge so much for these homes that aren’t in good shape or at least updated from the 70’s.
