High Mortgage Rates Take Toll On Housing Affordability

WASHINGTON - Housing affordability declined in the first quarter because of high mortgage rates, a trade group reported.

The National Association of Home Builders' housing opportunity index fell to 61.2 from 62.3 in the final three months of 1994. That meant a family earning the national median income of $40,200 could afford to buy 61.2 percent of the homes offered for sale in the first quarter. (The median means half of the families earned more and half earned less.)

The most affordable housing was found in the Midwest, while the least affordable was concentrated in the West - mainly California. Elkhart, Ind., was the most affordable market.

"Conditions in the Midwest, including plentiful land and incomes that are not much lower than those in the Northeast, make many cities there very affordable in comparison to other parts of the country," said Jim Irvine, president of the association.
