Reply to comment by Interesting_Ad3949 in For people that bought single family homes in Boston or adjacent suburbs since last summer, how much are you paying per month in mortgage, taxes, insurance? by Bostonosaurus
You said you couldn’t afford your house today.
No, most people cannot do it. Do you know what median household income means?

I can't afford my house today because my house value has tripled. I could afford it when i bought it and people advised me against buying in this neighborhood in Dorchester. Today, I'd tell people to go where there opportunities are. Randolph, Lynn, Saugus, Weymouth. Just get something near a T if needed.
Edit: Two families in Hyde Park, Roslindale, Mattapan, and other places

Lower income residents of Boston can apply through the Boston Home Center for reduced interest rate mortgages and up to $50,000 in down payment assistance making homes more affordable for them. It is not impossible to own a home in the City.
