It’s a part of the American Dream to become a homeowner, but which markets will turn the perfect home-buying fantasy into a reality?

Housing affordability is finally starting to improve. According to a new index, affordability is up from Q4 of 2016. More than 60 percent of all homes sold in Q1 were affordable for the nation's median income of $68K.

November experienced a decrease in terms of housing affordability when compared to previous months. Does this signify the end of a trend?

As home price appreciation continues to outpace wage growth, housing affordability may suffer, especially among millennials.

The share of both new and existing homes sold during the third quarter that were affordable to families earning the median income dropped off slightly. What was behind the decline?

On an adjusted basis, housing is actually becoming more affordable, according to one analysis.

While single-family home prices have been steadily rising for the last few years on average nationwide, houses may still be affordable in many markets when other factors are considered.

Despite ongoing concerns over tight inventory and declining affordability, there are still markets around the country where homes are for sale that are both large enough and affordable enough to accommodate working class households.

Despite economic growth and a national unemployment rate below 5 percent, the typical U.S. family still faces significant trouble buying a home.

Home price appreciation in the second quarter largely negated a modest reduction in interest rates, driving housing affordability down.
