We certainly aren’t breaking any news that San Francisco is unaffordable for those with moderate incomes, but it’s still surprising to see whole professions completely priced out of an entire city (teachers, firefighters, restaurant servers, astronauts). The median sold price for a San Francisco home is now $1,150,000, nearly 54 times higher than the median sold price in Detroit.

Detroit and St. Louis offer the most selection for ordinary home buyers, whereas the rising costs of homes in Los Angeles and Seattle make those cities increasingly unaffordable to most incomes.
