The map below shows how many years a person would have to save to buy a median-priced housed. Here in Palo Alto the market is white hot, so I suspect the years would be in the triple digits. Just a few doors down for me a house when on the market for $6.5 million and sold for $7.5 million. The dimensions on the palace? 2800 square foot house on a 6500 square foot lot.
