Buyer Power Jumps To Highest Level Since 2022
​
Rising incomes and lower mortgage rates have boosted home affordability to its highest level since March 2022, giving buyers more power to choose.
​
A median-income family can now afford a $331,483 home, up $30,302 YOY, according to new data from Zillow.
Meanwhile, typical monthly mortgage payments (with 20% down, excluding taxes and insurance) are 8.4% lower than a year ago, thanks to rates falling from 6.96% in January 2025 to 6.1% last month.
​
This has opened up 82,300 more potential homes for the median-income buyer, putting 40.3% of all listings in reach compared to 34.8% last year.
​
“A more than $30,000 gain in buying power is meaningful for households that have been stretched thin by high rates. It can mean the difference between settling and choosing,” said Kara Ng, senior economist at Zillow. “That doesn’t suddenly make this market affordable for everyone, but it does crack open doors that had firmly shut when rates peaked.”
