When a potential home buyer is considering purchasing real estate one of the first questions he will ask is, is this home affordable? There has been a great deal of talk about housing affordability over the past couple of years and for the most part affordability is at an all time high throughout the United States.

Affordability is a simple calculation involving income and expenses. When the expense of owning a home equals 30% or less of a household’s monthly income then it is considered affordable. Affordability levels have been high for over a year now, indicating that it is a great time to buy a home, after-all it is wiser to buy real estate when it makes financial sense.

Buying a home that exceeds a household’s budget is a tough mistake to make. Let’s face it, money matters and anyone would rather buy an affordable home than one that isn’t.
