In the third quarter of 2023, rising mortgage rates, elevated construction costs and a limited inventory of homes pushed housing affordability to its lowest level in more than a decade. New fourth-quarter statistics show little improvement. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI) released last week, just 37.7% of new and existing homes sold between October and December 2023 were affordable to families earning the U.S. median income of $96,300. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), prices among single-family existing homes climbed in 86% of measured metro areas in the fourth quarter, up from 82% in the previous quarter.

Experts warned [DWM] editor Drew Vass that the significant labor market improvements in 2022-23 was destined to change.
