I'm single and bought a $350k 3 bedroom when I was making around $130k. I bought the home because the city I lived in at the time (Austin) had banned townhouses/duplexes/etc so my only option was to rent in a midrise, rent a home, or buy. I wanted a townhouse downtown, not a SFH in the suburbs.

Unfortunately I sold said home at the beginning of 2019 and have watched it essentially double in value over the last two years.
