Skyrocketing rates make homeownership impossible for most Americans, with $124,150 needed to afford the median home—far above the $79,223 median household income.
As of January, "qualified income" needed to afford median home in U.S. was $124,150, but U.S. median household income was $79,223 … makes for a $44,927 affordability gap per @AtlantaFed data
