That analysis is flawed.
It now takes two incomes to buy a house.
It used to be that one wage earner could buy a house


The report is consistent with my national housing price trend:

All the data I have reviewed or developed indicates that house prices since late 2005 fully reflect current conditions with respect to: buyers income, equity holding preferences, mortgage rates, expected inflation. BTW, two income families were a causal factor in home price appreciation up to 2000, i.e. women entered the workforce giving the family the ability to bid up home prices. But that demographic shift is complete.
