    The vast majority of homes in the United States are already priced at or near historic averages of two and a half times median income. I believe in the dream of home ownership, but I think much of the disappointment around high median home prices centers around areas most people simply do not qualify to live.

    The promise of home ownership doesn't mean beach home, luxury condo, or 10,000 square feet on100 acres in Charlottesville, VA. Bottom line is housing is priced about right. It's time for people in highly desireable locations to adjust their expectations, and possibly relocate to places they qualify to live in.
