The National Association of Realtors' Housing Affordability Index rose 13.6 points in January to a new record high . This shows home prices, family income, and mortgage interest rates to be the most favorable since tracking began in 1970. In 2005-2006, it was difficult to find inventory in the Wilmington area for first-time home buyers. Today, there are approximately 157 single-family homes available in Wilmington priced between $100,000-$150,000.
