"The third-quarter HOI reading indicates that 42% of all new and existing homes that were sold during the third quarter were affordable to families earning the national median income of $59,000," said NAHB President Brian Catalde. "This reflects a slight improvement in affordability from a year ago, when only 40.4% of homes were within reach of median income-earners."
