single income or double incomes? any kid?

I would say 81K+benefits is not very high, but is not too low either. You can have a decent life even with single income. It's just you can't expect to buy a house in the next few years if you don't have any other income or savings.

I would say 200K pre-tax household income if you don't want to be overstretching, consider the medium-price single house price range is over 750K, in some good locations it can be even higher.
