87.5M Buyers Priced Out

87.5M Buyers Priced Out

Check out this article from NAR (National Association of Realtors) about the number of folks who can’t afford to buy a home in this current market. Bottom line is we need more inventory! It’s a great market to sell your home, but hang on to your shorts if you are a buyer! With that said I’m still putting deals together for buyers who are able to be patient. Feel free to contact me or comment below if you have any questions I can help with. Chris Simpson – Professional Realtor 231-215-7229 In the competitive market, many aspiring home buyers continue to be priced out, according to a new study from the National Association of Home Builders. About 87.5 million households are unable to afford a median-priced new home. If prices rise by just $1,000, an additional 117,932 people would be priced out, according to the NAHB’s 2022 Priced-Out Estimates report. Higher home prices, the highest inflation in 40 years, and rising mortgage rates are affecting more household budgets. The NAHB released the following pyramid that breaks down affordability. The pyramid shows that about 36 million households cannot afford a $150,000 home. The top of the pyramid shows that about 3 million households can buy a home priced above $1.55 million. ![A bar chart showing the most expensive home a person can afford based on their income.](https://magazine.realtor/sites/default/files/styles/asset_image_full_content/public/assets/images/3.22.2022_affordability.png?itok=fD4OvuVa) Chris Simpson Nexes Realty Inc. 880 W.
