Americans Earning $109,152 Can Afford Homeownership
It’s striking to see that home affordability in the U.S. has now slipped for the fifth consecutive month, with buyers needing an annual income of $109,152 to purchase a median-priced home at $446,400. Even with some recent income increases and a slight dip in mortgage rates to 6.57%, the combination of high prices and borrowing costs continues to shape the landscape for many families. Drawing on more than 15 years navigating the South Carolina market, I know firsthand how crucial it is to approach each buying or selling decision with careful strategy and a clear understanding of the numbers. Precision, planning, and a deep empathy for your goals remain at the heart of my work—no matter how the market shifts.
