My 'starter' home was 305k, and it was only that low because it had been destroyed by the last owner. If I hadn't been handy and willing to use leftovers from other projects at work I could not have afforded it.

Most of my peers aren't able to get a home, and we are all approaching 30. It's dumb out here

I make nearly $80k and my wife makes nearly $60k and we can't afford a house, and my family assumes the reason we can't afford a house is because we don't have traditional white collar jobs. They're frequently pushing me to explore this or that career field. Like, no, the reason we can't afford a house isn't because of my job, and me starting over at $20/hr to learn something new isn't going to fix the housing market.
