Notorious b.s.d. posted:affordability of housing hasn't changed that much. the amount that households pay monthly to keep a roof over their heads, as a fraction of income, hasn't gone up as fast as home prices the very best part of this is that as rates go down or hold stable you can refinance to a lower payment either via lower rates or by reamoritizing. the opposite is very much not true, especially because value drops caused by potential buyers not being able to leverage as hard and drive up values. loans now are the cheapest they will ever be.
