Affordability: Three Dimensions • Mortgage Interest Rates • Income • Home Prices

Household Income vs. Home Prices But in that time period, incomes have grown slower than home prices. Median home prices increased at an average annual rate of 5.9 percent. When home prices rise faster than incomes, affordability suffers. Thousands of $ Source: U.S. Census Bureau, Milken Institute.

Urban Realities • Land cost can be substantially higher than regional suburban alternatives; land configuration and previous uses increase costs • Smaller & difficult to develop sites • Costs and entitlement processes dictate more expensive and/or higher density products
Urban Realities • Social conditions can be as complex as the physical sites • Older, poorer and more diverse educational institutions
Yet, More American Homeowners Are Seeking Infill Locations To Avoid Congestion, Traffic, and Long Commutes To Enjoy a Metropolitan Lifestyle With Downtown Amenities To Be Near Employment Centers To Be Near Familiar Neighborhoods and Close to Family and Community Roots To Participate in Civic Involvements and Greater Citizen Interactions To Have a Distinctive “Village Within the City” Experience with New Home Comforts and Technologies

Targeted Consumers Want Location and Convenience • Young Professionals • Empty nesters and retirees • First-time homeowners with young families • Immigrants • Minority homeowners • Working families • Multigenerational households
Work with local governments who declare homeownership a priority to review land use policies and fiscal structure for middle class and entry level affordability. Consider incentives to encourage states and local governments to create housing trust funds with their own funds and with private resources, in order to supplement Federal programs for homeownership.
Expand the concept of empowerment or enterprise zones to create “homeownership zones.” Encourage local governments to assemble sites, clean up brownfields, create land banks, rehabilitate properties, reconstruct infrastructure, and prepare land for large-scale infill neighborhoods.
Many City & County Governments Have Established the Construction of Homes in Central Areas as a Priority • GOVERNMENTS CAN BE HELPFUL: • Identifying Sites in Priority Areas • Helping Assemble Complex Sites • Assuring the Adequacy of Needed Utilities, Transportation, and Other Public Infrastructure • Working to Meet Local “Affordability” Objectives • Expediting the Approval and Entitlement Process • Working with Neighborhood and Community Leaders
Homebuyer Assistance Alliances First-time home buyers, especially immigrant and non-English speaking urban residents, need to be educated and introduced to the fundamentals of homeownership. • Housing Fairs – multiple providers of services; • Non-profit neighborhood organizations; • Training programs for currently non-qualifying homebuyers; • Employer assistance programs; • Full participation of banking and mortgage lenders.
