Can you afford an Eco-home?

If you read the post below, £300,000 is the average cost of an eco-home - according the The Times.

From the FEH website:
"As a whole we in Arun live in a low pay economy.

According to the Nomis annual survey of hours and earnings - workplace analysis, the average gross weekly wage for Arun in 2005 was £396. This compares to a national average of £518, a South East average of £539, a West Sussex average of £489, Adur at £480, Chichester at £432, Crawley at £586, Horsham at £507, Mid Sussex at £496 and Worthing at £438."

Based on these salaries - is £300,000 affordable to those in a low pay economy? Perhaps FEH can answer this for me?
