Samantha Welch+FollowWhy Buying a Home Feels Impossible NowEver feel like homeownership is slipping out of reach, even with a solid job? You’re not alone. Only 1 in 5 homes listed are affordable for middle-class families these days—way down from before the pandemic. Blame it on too few homes being built and rising prices. Cities with strict building rules (think LA or parts of Pennsylvania) are especially tough. Some spots like Raleigh and Columbia are getting better, thanks to more new builds. Maybe it’s time to look at smaller cities or creative options like micro-apartments! #HomeBuying #MiddleClass #RealEstate #AffordableHousing #MoneyHacks00Share
