Jus for your comparison, here are some values from The Netherlands
Dutch median income is 36k.
Average home is selling for 400k
University tuition is less than 3k a year.
Vacations (usually 5 to 8 weeks a year) can be done in rented apartments for less than 100 a night, or some people go camping.
Cycling to work/school, and at least one car worth 10-20k (used VW golf).

For about 500k you are looking at tiny ranch homes built in the 50s thats bound to have serious issues. Fine for just me and a SO, but with kids nah I'm sweet
Even 700k isn't buying you anything nice, just not a dump

Prices drop off as you get into more vibrant neighborhoods but generally 700 is about the least I'd want to spend. Custom building a 4000 square foot brand new home is running at about 1.2 mil here
It's annoying because even in 2019, 750 bought you a really nice custom home.
Tbf I pay a premium because I live 10 mins from my work/downtown, I wasn't going to be fooled by vague promises of WFH without guaranteed contracts because boomer execs HATE wfh and want people back in the office asap
