That’s 350, which you can’t buy for 300..

If the extra $200/month means you can’t afford it, you probably shouldn’t be buying a house…

Yeah that sounds cruel and messed up, because it is. I don’t like how expensive real estate is and I wish we could have another 2008 without a bailout. But the point stands. If you hafta pick between eating and paying your mortgage, you made a bad financial decision. Blame whoever you want, I am of the opinion that people still have agency and are responsible for their decisions, as unpopular as that seems to be these days.

These are midrange. Most of the homes in those areas are around $225k.

You'd be surprised how much house and land you can get for that price.
