Housing in the United States is the least affordable in 35 years
Affording a home has never been more difficult:
- Median earners now spend nearly 40% of their income on mortgage, taxes, and insurance
- The historical average? Only 29%
- During the 2008 crash, it fell to 22%
For housing to rebound:
→ Home prices need to drop ~15%
→ Mortgage rates need to decrease by ~1.5%
Until then, the market remains frozen.#ConsumerConfidence
