Weekly Housing Market Activity Report for the Twin Cities

For Week Ending July 10, 2021

Publish Date: July 19, 2021 • All comparisons are to 2020
As sales prices surge, housing affordability continues to decline, despite
historically low interest rates. According to the National Association of
REALTORS® Housing Affordability Index, the median family income increased
by only 1.2% in May, while the monthly mortgage payment rose to $1,204, a
20% gain compared to a year ago. Homeowners are allocating more of their
income toward their mortgage, putting additional strain on consumers'
pocketbooks amid rising inflation, as the Consumer Price Index jumped 5.4% in
the year through June, according to the Labor Department, the largest yearover-year gain since August 2008.
