The California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) reports that entry level housing affordability has increased by 50% in the second quarter of this year compared to a year ago. More families are now able to buy homes and this is GREAT news for the real estate market!

The minimum housing income needed to purchase an entry-level home at $329,120 in California in the second quarter of 2008 was $62,870, based on an adjustable interest rate of 5.69 percent and assuming a 10 percent down payment. First-time buyers typically purchase a home equal to 85% of the current median price. The monthly payment including taxes and insurance was $2,100 for the second quarter of 2008.

At $62,870, the minimum qualifying income was 38 percent lower than a year earlier when households needed $101,440 to qualify for a loan on an entry-level home. Recent decreases in home prices and mortgage rates have brought affordability into better alignment with income levels of the typical California households, where the median household income is $59,160.

At 68 percent, the High Desert region was the most affordable area in the state. The Palm Springs/Lower Desert, in Riverside County, reached record-high affordability levels in the second quarter of 2008.
