Housing affordability falls in Q2
Families earning the median income had 133.6% of the funds needed to buy a median-priced home in Q2, down 10.5% from Q1's 144.1%, the National Association of Realtors said. Affordability fell to the lowest level since '02, which still saw a then record for home sales. Home buyers faced an average mortgage rate of 5.73% in Q2, up from 5.64% in Q1.
** Median-family income in Q2 rose 0.67% from Q1 to $54,884, as a median-priced home rose 7.6% to $183,800, the National Association of Realtors said.
