Housing Affordability Index Hits Record High
Housing affordability conditions have reached the highest level since recordkeeping began in 1970, based on the National Association of Realtors study. NAR’s Housing Affordability Index rose to a record high 206.1 in January, in accordance with the relationship between median home price, median family income and the average mortgage interest rate. The higher the index, the greater the household purchasing power.
An index of 100 is defined as the point where a median-income household has exactly enough income to qualify for the purchase of a median-priced existing single-family home, assuming a 20 percent down payment and 25 percent of gross income devoted to mortgage principal and interest payments. For first-time buyers making small down payments, the affordability levels are relatively lower.
Homes in Boca Raton Florida are Now More Affordable
NAR President Moe Veissi, broker-owner of Veissi & Associates Inc., in Miami, said this latest data underscores buyer opportunities in today’s market. “This is the first time the housing affordability index has broken the two hundred mark, meaning the typical family has roughly double the income needed to purchase a median-priced home,” he said. “For buyers who can qualify for a mortgage, now is a very good time to become a homeowner.”
Mortgage Interest Rates Support Buying Boca Raton Houses and Condos
NAR projects the affordability index for all of 2012 will be at an annual high, with little movement in mortgage interest rates or home prices during the year. “Housing inventory levels have declined to a point where conditions are becoming much more balanced in much of the country. Florida Real estate specialists claim that If access to credit improves, we could see a much more meaningful increase in home sales. Also Florida could see a broader stabilization in home prices with modest gains in areas with stronger job growth.
