California Housing Affordability by County

As California property values continue to appreciate, the affordability level drops. Just wait until the interest rates go up… This is only one element of the housing affordability issues many regions in California are realizing. It’s a matter of supply and demand.

There aren’t enough new units being built to satisfy the buyer base, or affordable rental units, driving up the rental cost up at a higher rate than sales prices.

Buying real estate, even at the higher price range is like buying insurance against higher future housing cost. Also consider the ownership of rental properties as a producer of capital gains, plus it supplies the residual effect of rental income.
