As part of my role as one of THDA’s Real Estate Industry Advisors, I try to keep up with state housing sales data in some of our biggest markets. The national, state, and local Realtor associations do an incredible job of pulling together this information and making it available to their members and the public at large. I thought that it might be beneficial to have some of this data complied together in one place. I’ve included the credits for this information below; please check in with these organizations to learn more about housing sales in their markets.

National Housing Trends: The NAR Housing Affordability Index “measures whether or not a typical family earns enough income to qualify for a mortgage loan on a typical home at the national and regional levels based on the most recent price and income data.” Learn more about the index here.
