The Housing Affordability Index for Stark County is a formula that measures housing affordability for the Regional Housing Market. An HAI of 120 means the median family income is 120% of the necessary income to qualify for the median priced home using a 20% down, 30-year fixed rate mortgage. We are at 201 this year-to-date which is up 5.5% from last year, but a whopping 33.3% from two years ago.
Stay tuned for next months numbers!
