I have absolutely no need for a 500k house in Texas while being single regardless of income, in other parts of the country things may be different.

I'm looking at lower priced houses in the near future once I think my area has roughly bottomed. Compared to most people in my position I "save" enough in housing to pay for my motorcycles cash.

It gets you a fully furnished, wood flooring, cable tv/internet included, 2-2 if you know where to look in Austin, TX (southside a mile out of downtown).
I recently moved to a nicer area and am paying more than that [480] mostly so I don't worry about my vehicles getting stolen and because it's 4 miles from my work.

$350 in San Diego gets you a fancy cardboard box
$480 might get you a room in a house with a bunch of roommates somewhere not desired
tv/internet is another $100
