Doing some quick math, it seems for every $100,000 of home you'll have total monthly payments of around $700, which at around 25% of income (still need more for maintenance and repairs, so could eat into 30% or more) you need about $22 per hour at a full time job.
The houses around here are now at $400k and up. So that's around $2,400 per month and about $88 per hour needed to pay for that...
