There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics - Twain Key observations: * All else being equal, we would expect 50% of homes to be unafford

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics - Twain Key observations: * All else being equal, we would expect 50% of homes to be unaffordable to a median buyer. This is the reasonable base figure (not zero). We would expect 2 in 5 if everyone were buying homes they could properly afford. * But they're comparing median county incomes to homes in a metro area. For example they call out Boise, ID but use income from Ada county (already 20% lower!). This issue alone could account for the difference. * There is also an issue of counting homes for sale, vs homes in general. If more expensive homes are sold more often (or, are listed for sale longer - say years - because they're unique) then we will see a skew towards more expensive homes being listed more frequently. It won't accurately represent the actual underlying home inventory. I recommend not reading too much into these numbers.

"All else being equal, we would expect 50% of homes to be unaffordable to a median buyer." Unaffordable? Why? There is a difference between "dislike" and "unaffordable." I'd expect the median buyer to want a house that is better than what 50% of buyers will settle for, but that is not the same as "unaffordable." If a society does a good job of providing housing then 100% of housing should be affordable. Put differently, if housing is affordable for the poorest citizens, then it is affordable for 100% of the population.

  "If a society does a good job of providing housing then 100% of housing should be affordable." This can never be true, it's a mathematical impossibility. Housing is not equal. There are always preferred units. A skyscraper will have a side with a better view, people will prefer to live near the top rather than the bottom, people will prefer bigger units with better amenities, etc. It's impossible to solve this by "providing housing" because no matter how much you build it cannot solve the issue of relative value. So no, housing cannot ever be 100% affordable under any kind of market economy system. People with money will always be able to out-bid people without. People will always be able to construct homes which are better than others -- and this is a very good thing!

    You have a weird theory that ignores actual history. Most of the West was able to offer society affordable housing for much of the post-war period. And you are, again, confusing a preference with "unaffordable" which is an absolute.
    - throwaway09223 4y ago
      "You have a weird theory that ignores actual history." Mmm, nope. I've said that 50% of homes would be affordable (or unaffordable) to the median, which was true then and is still true now. You're the one with a not only historically inaccurate but also mathematically impossible theory, that 100% affordability might be possible. This has never, ever been the case -- nor can it ever be. "Most of the West was able to offer society affordable housing for much of the post-war period. " And at that time, pray tell, could median wage earners afford to live in any home they wished? Were median wage earners able to live in mansions? Anywhere they wished? Of course not. Because it has never, ever been the case in American history that "100% of housing" were affordable to someone with median income. "And you are, again, confusing a preference " No, I am not. You, however, seem to be confused as to your own claims. Why don't you slow down and re-read what you wrote -- it's completely ridiculous.

  > There is a difference between "dislike" and "unaffordable." You hint at something here that I see a lot of in my market... lots of other agents will talk about "inventory" and will push for more construction, but they are using that as a short hand for the real problem. The problem at least in my market is that there are a lot of houses that are obsolete in some way, or quite simply undesirable in a way that has made them obsolete. Unfortunately, I see a lot of new construction that I'd also call undesirable - people will buy them because they don't have anther option, not because the houses actually have desirable amenities. Case in point - an idiot builder is putting in a new development in which all the houses are pointed the wrong direction, IE: they don't have views to the mountains because the developer was stupid. Additionally, the houses are priced $100K above anything else in the community but the build quality is very low. Brilliant, right? Point being - this leaves me as a real estate agent with a bunch of useless crap that buyers don't want.

Why 50%? For an exaggerated example, what percentage of a dozen chickens eggs are unaffordable? Probably the top 0.00001% - some kind of rare egg. What percentage of private jets are affordable to buy outright? Even with houses: what percentage in SF vs Detroit? Point is there is no base figure, there is just the figure.
- throwaway09223 4y ago
  Because there is a value gradient. Eggs are generally equal, fungible. Real estate is not - there are strong preferences between different units. If there is a value gradient, people will be willing to pay more for the more valuable units, raising their price relative to less desirable units. This same question was asked and answered above in more detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35041925 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35041925
  - manwe150 4y ago
    I don’t know about grocery stores in your area, but I can easily find egg cartons with 2-3x price differences sitting next to each other in my city. Most people (the median) buy the cheapest. But the average cost of sale is slightly higher since a fraction are willing to pay much more.

1) I would expect that the typical buyer isn't maxing out what they can afford just on a home. So all else being equal I would expect far less than 50% of homes to be unaffordable to a median buyer. Well maybe not "expect", but definitely hope. And you're writing "median buyer", when the article is talking about "typical household". The rest of what you wrote are good points. I would like to highlight the article headline: "There Were Half as Many Affordable Homes for Sale in 2022 as There Were in 2021". Hopefully this is temporary.

Redfin defines affordable as > We define an “affordable” listing as one where the monthly mortgage payment would be no more than 30% of the county’s median income. We estimated the monthly mortgage payment for each listing using the average 30-year-fixed mortgage rate during the month the home hit the market, according to Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey. We assumed a 5% down payment, private mortgage insurance of 0.75% of the list price and homeowner’s insurance of $70 per month. We also factored in property tax data, assuming a tax rate of 1.25% of the list price if no record was available. We restricted our analysis to single-family homes, condos and townhomes with two bedrooms or more. Many households are in a position to put more than 5% down or pay more than 30% of their household income in a mortgage. This is far from "maxing out"

    Well, unless you’re already in the stratosphere of wealth where you you can take advantage of other financial instruments available to you like interest-only loans, jumbo mortgages, or stock/non-salary collateral (which by definition would put you outside the definition of a “typical household”), most banks will typically refuse to underwrite a mortgage that pushed up against the 36-42% debt-to-income ratio, which includes things like credit-card debt and other recurring payments, no matter how great your credit is. A 30% mortgage-to-income ratio, or even a 36% ratio if you have great credit, only leaves you around 6% for other debts before you hit that ceiling — which is another reason why something as standard as, say, student loans (especially the income-based payment ones) will lock out younger households from getting a mortgage, even if in their view they could still maybe make ends meet. So even if a household “could” afford increased payments, good luck getting something as risk-averse as a bank to fund you. Maybe if banks started offering 40 year (or even 99 year) mortgages, like they do in some EU countries, that would push the DTI threshold lower (though of course, you end up paying much more interest in the end)? But right now the US Government/Fannie Mae won’t underwrite loans which offer those terms, so here we are.

> All else being equal, we would expect 50% of homes to be unaffordable to a median buyer. This is the reasonable base figure (not zero). Not so. In a market where new homes are produced until prices fall below the construction cost and construction costs are modest, it's possible that a large majority or even 100% of local homes could be affordable to the median buyer.

  1. Different houses will be on different sized lots with different locations. This will create variance in price. 2. Different houses will be different sizes, made with different materials. This will create variance in price. 3. This market is oversimplified. Construction costs can rise if too much construction is happening (competition for labor and materials). Lower housing costs would attract buyers into the market that don't currently exist, driving up demand. Affordability is impacted by the cost of financing, which is rising. 4. New construction housing prices are actually really close to land value + construction costs. If you can find a way to make construction costs more modest then you have a fantastic future in real estate development.

Lowering the cost of new construction is the premise. Ramping up construction capacity is a short-term issue, after which costs may decline further from economies of scale. "Lower prices increase demand" doesn't result in high prices because if the price remained high there would be no increase in demand. What it causes is an increase in supply, since suppliers can profitably build even more housing at that price and will continue to do so until that is no longer true. Higher interest rates have a largely neutral effect on affordability because they cause sale prices to decline.

You’re responding to things the article isn’t saying. It’s a pretty plain and honest article. The facts are genuine and the conclusions have nothing to do with what you wrote here. It’s a Redfin blog post addressed at people looking to buy a home, not a think tank study of home ownership. It’s putting numbers, accurate and meaningful ones, to the experience a prospective buyer has when looking for a home right now. For buyer’s with a median income, only 21% of listings satisfy traditional standards of affordability and it’s worse now than in recent years. No wonder it’s so frustrating when you’re looking for a house lately! That’s literally all this is saying. And it’s no lie.

I think parent is disagreeing - they point out that 21% of listings in a metro area meet the standards of affordability for everyone in the county. But not everyone in the county has a city job that pays more, and not everyone in the city is willing to live out of town. Thus, more than 21% of city folks can afford a house in the city, and more than 21% of folks living in the country can afford a home in the country. Parent is arguing insufficient granularity, and that's a fair criticism. I argue of course that everyone should be able to afford a place in town, thats a function of zoning. Federalize zoning, let anyone build whatever they want on their land without asinine parking minimums and setback rules - and years of prostrating yourself in front of council only for them to tell you to get stuffed - and watch the problem sort itself out. The builder's remedy should just be the status quo and then we could finally stop talking about this.

  FWIW: As a real estate agent, what I observe is something kinda sorta bell curve shaped. At the lower end of the economic spectrum, people are generally buying the max they can afford - because they don't have a choice but to go all in to be able to afford something. The upper middle class, if you will, tend to not buy at the top of their budget because they know they can't afford what they really want and they are worried about becoming house poor. Above that point, I see people not spending to their max only because they can't find the properties they want and/or they are holding back in order to make updates / upgrades. Or said another way - if you can afford $10MM, you are going to be selective in how you spend your money Anecdotal of course, but jives with conversations I've had with other agents.

- notahacker 4y ago
  I'd argue that more than 50% should be affordable to a median buyer, on the basis that not everyone lives in the most expensive house they can possibly afford, and in the middle of the house pricing range there are multiple homes available at any given price. Of course, there's also a large set of people who cannot afford to be buyers [in areas suitable for them to live] for various reasons and this median income dataset includes them. Not entirely sure they've used median household income and not median individual income either
- throwaway09223 4y ago
  "Would 50% of avocados be unaffordable to the median buyer?" Avocados are homogenous. One is generally as good as another. It's hard to convince someone to pay significantly more for an identical product (although- it's possible through marketing and there are boutique produce suppliers with wildly unaffordable prices. Specially imported/handled fruits and the like which aren't found in grocery stores) Homes are not homogenous. Real estate values vary wildly in value based on location, size, and other characteristics. This will always be true because real estate is inherently a zero-sum system. A skyscraper will have drastically different prices for units along the side of the building with the best view - or near the top, etc. The product is inherently unequal with large differences in demand between each type of unit, so prices will always be unequal as a result. People with more money will always be able to bid higher than people without. This dynamic exists no matter how many homes are built.
