Per MorningstarBuying a home in the US has become increasingly difficult with about 51% of households earning up to $75,000 yearly only being able to afford 23% of home listings. This was according to a report by the National Association of Realtors and Realtors.com.Earners that take home up to $75,000 annually could only afford homes that cost $256,000. This would mean that of the April 2023 1.1 million home listings, these buyers would only be able to purchase 262,580 of those properties.In April 2018, it was reported that earners making the same amount of money could buy just under 50% of the listed properties.
