Monthly cost vs. price
Start with the typical home: $353,205. Put 20% down and borrow $282,564 at 7.40%, the 30-year fixed average as of October 8, 2026.
That is $1,956 a month in principal and interest.
The median household here earns $71,446 a year, $5,954 a month. So the payment takes 32.9% of income — rated “stretched” (Lotvox ZIP bands: under 28% affordable · 28–36% stretched · 36%+ severe).
The line holds today's rate fixed and moves only the price: at that rate, the same share was 8.0% in 2000.

Home value after inflation

Listings Flow Ladder
Picture the Listings Flow Ladder as a basin: new listings pour in from the faucet, the homes for sale are the water, and closed sales run out the drain. Coming in — new listings: about 81 a month (Redfin, 3-month rolling data through August 2026).
On the shelf — homes for sale at the end of the period: 359.
Going out — closed sales: about 97 a month.
The ladder: homes for sale ÷ monthly sales = 3.7 months of supply — below the 4–6 month range Lotvox treats as balanced. In the basin, that is the water level against the shaded balanced band.
The net reading: about 17 more homes sold than came on each month, so inventory is shrinking. The basin is draining.
