24% of CA households could buy a $815K home

Housing affordability in the third quarter improved slightly from the prior quarter as mortgage rates remained low while prices began to level off.

24% percent of California households could afford to purchase the $814,580 median-priced home in the third quarter of 2021, up from 23% in second-quarter 2021 but down from 28% in third-quarter 2020.

A minimum annual income of $148,400 was needed to qualify for the purchase of a median-priced home in the latest quarter in the state.

With interest rates expected to rise and the state median price projected to climb further in 2022, the housing affordability condition will likely get worse in the coming year.

45% of prospective buyers keep getting outbid

A majority of house hunters say it’s not prices that are keeping them out of the housing market—it’s other buyers. 45% of prospective buyers recently surveyed say they keep getting outbid by other offers, according to a new survey from the National Association of Home Builders. The NAHB says this is only the third time in the survey’s history that the top reason prospective buyers have been unsuccessful has not been due to finding a home at an affordable price.

In the third quarter, 66% of active home buyers say they’ve spent three months or more searching for a home without success.
