For Week Ending July 1, 2023
Buyers everywhere are feeling the crunch when home shopping this year, but middle-income households—those earning up to $75,000 per year—are perhaps experiencing the strongest competition overall due to a shortage of homes in their price range. The National Association of REALTORS® reports the market is currently short approximately 320,000 listings priced up to $256,000, which is considered the affordability range for middle-income buyers. As a result, these buyers can afford to purchase just 23% of all listings nationwide, a stark contrast to just 5 years earlier, when the same group could afford half of all homes on the market.
