First-time homebuyers must now earn $64,500 a year to ensure the cost of an average entry-level home doesn’t exceed 30% of their income, per Bloomberg.

That’s up from $57,222 a year ago.

Market-implied inflation expectations over the next 5-10 years have risen to the highest levels in more than a year. Traders are starting to game out a future with sustainably higher inflation and higher long-term bond yields. https://t.co/AX0CQH7Ox3 pic.twitter.com/bP2WVhAWfi
