For the first time in quite a while, affordability is easing. That’s a meaningful shift.

And because this improvement isn’t happening everywhere at the same speed, understanding what’s changing locally is what really makes a difference. If you want to see how these trends show up in our area, let’s talk it through.

There’s finally a little good news for anyone who’s been priced out or sitting on the sidelines.

Buying a home is getting more affordable, and this graph helps explain why.

It shows how much of a household’s income typically goes toward buying a home. As a general rule, spending 30% or less of your income on housing is considered affordable.

For the last couple of years, the math was still well above that threshold. But lately, things have been getting better thanks to a mix of lower mortgage rates, slower home price growth, and rising wages.

While affordability isn't going to snap back overnight, the trend is finally moving in the right direction.

If you want to talk through what this means for your buying power, send me a message and let’s break it down.

If you’re renting, you’ve probably heard that buying just isn’t affordable right now.

But the reality is, affordability is starting to return in many parts of the country.

In a growing number of counties, it’s more affordable to buy than rent a 3-bedroom home (even with factoring in insurance and typical maintenance costs).

And after years of feeling priced out of buying, that’s a really good thing. But some regions are rebounding faster than others.

If you’re renting and stuck in the “someday” loop, let's have a quick conversation about what’s possible where you live.

It doesn’t mean everyone should buy tomorrow. But it’s worth finding out if the math’s changed where you are.

04/11/2026

Home affordability is the best it’s been in 4 years. And that's making a difference for buyers. Have you re-run the math yet to see how this changes your numbers?

The point isn’t that everyone should rush out and buy a home tomorrow.

It’s that renting isn’t always the more affordable option people assume it is – and buying may be more realistic than it feels once you look at the full picture.

If you’re renting and feeling stuck in the “someday” loop, it might be worth a simple conversation. Just a chance to see what’s possible and whether it makes sense for you.

Renting can feel like the easier choice right now.
