Data current as of January 23, 2023
Despite softening home prices, housing affordability continued to decline nationwide in Q4 2022 due in part to elevated interest rates. According to ATTOM’s Q4 2022 U.S. Home Affordability Report, median priced single-family homes and condos were less affordable compared to historical averages in 99% of counties nationwide, an increase from Q4 2021, when 68% of counties were less affordable. The portion of wages needed for homeownership costs also increased, with homeownership costs now requiring 32.3% of the average national wage, a 15-year high.
