This blows my mind. When I was growing up, we would have them in school and it was always a competition to see who would get the baby.

It's as much a thing in New England as Mardis Gras. I've only ever seen King Cake on the Gulf Coast (e.g. New Orleans).

We bought our first house a couple years ago in Oxford and based the purchase ($340k) on roughly that income. I was working in Framingham and wife in Westminster at the time. A year later, we sold it for $450k. I don't even want to know what it's "worth" now...

There isn’t a downpayment limit, just a downpayment minimum. I have the ONE mortgage and I put down about 11%. I agree that 3% would be really hard to pull off with all the other program requirements.
