Houses More Affordable Than Ever

The National Association of Realtors has reported that the Housing Affordability Index jumped 13.6% in January to a record high of 166.8. Another sign that buyers bold enough to jump into the market will be rewarded. Not to mention the tax benefit they will receive for doing so prior to the end of the year! The aforementioned index measures the relationship between home prices, income, & mortgage interest rates. The index is the best it has ever been since monitoring of this relationship began back in 1970.
