According to to The California Association of Realtor’s (C.A.R.’s) Traditional Housing Affordability Index, We are heading back to the place where most folks cant afford a home. That is, less than half of  all Californians can qualify to buy a home… The THAI measures the percentage of households that can afford to purchase the median priced home in the state and regions of California based on traditional assumptions. C.A.R. also reports its traditional and first-time buyer indexes for regions and select counties within the state. The HAI is the most fundamental measure of housing well-being for buyers in the state.
