Home prices have outrun income for about two decades, and Jerremy Alexander Newsome says nobody can dispute that prices left paychecks behind. Dave Conley still thinks a regular earner can buy, and this is where the two of them disagree after eight episodes. Jerremy says a home in downtown Manhattan for $120,000 is gone for good, but a two-bed, two-bath condo for about $315,000 can work for a young family. He also blames adjustable-rate teaser rates that nobody explained to the people who signed. Dave says buying went from easy to difficult but still possible: skip the real estate agent, talk to the brokers and lenders, and there are programs even for the self-employed or people with credit problems.
