Bay Area Housing Affordability by County
Chart: Long-Term Trends in Housing Affordability The California Association of Realtors recently released its Housing Affordability Index (HAI) for the 4th quarter of 2015, and above are 3 of 10 charts in our updated analysis. Marin is the third least affordable county in the Bay Area behind SF and San Mateo, the hearts of the high-tech boom. Per this index, 17% of Marin households could afford to purchase the median priced house. (This survey does not include condos, which would certainly increase the percentage.) San Francisco, which may have the lowest affordability rating in the country, is now 3 percentage points above its all-time low of 8%, last reached in Q3 2007. However, there has not yet occurred the convergence in extreme low affordability across Bay Area counties seen in 2007. Interest rates play a big role in affordability calculations and, as noted earlier, they have been falling in 2016. Our full report: Bay Area Housing AffordabilityLong-Term Median Price Trends
