The National Association of Realtors publishes monthly updated housing affordability figures. The benchmark is an index where a value of 100 means a family has exactly enough income to afford a mortgage on a median-priced home. Values ​​above 100 mean a family has more than enough income to qualify. Since the housing bubble, housing affordability has been high, a positive sign of a recovery in demand.
