Midwest and South regions show greatest affordability, with median home prices near $300,000. Redfin predicts improved affordability by 2026 due to rising wages, but warns sustained improvement requires increased homebuilding. Nationwide, homeowners spend 39% of income on housing, exceeding the recommended 30% threshold.
