Participanti think your income number is a bit high. median hh income is something like 60k in sd, after taxes, something more like 40k. 28% fed, 9% ss/medi, misc state tax ~= 37%. and assuming the median hh doesn’t already own a home, they dont have that tax shelter…
40/12 = 3.3k/month.
assuming a married household with 1 kid, monthly expenses are going to be significant. spending 2k/month on housing seems out of line.
adding dependants/tax exemptions, i guess monthly net goes up… still seems off. 1k/month due to dependants?
whatever, anyway. median hh not buying median homes… is that a long term trend? or a more recent development, say as of the 80’s? and what are the causes? supply? (un/under)employment and wages?

None of the above. It is simple statisitcs. Follow the logic it’s not hard.

ParticipantRustico,
I’ll suggest the amount of rampant speculation (and associated overbuilding) over the last decade has created a unique situation. I should have said ‘new’ construction, though. And I’ll stand by that claim. We have too many houses and way too many condos.
sdrealtor,
Once all the wannabe-speculators dump their properties I have a feeling housing is gonna get affordable fast!
