It’s becoming more challenging for middle-class families to find homes they can truly afford—especially in many of the country’s biggest cities. Recent data shows that, in 22 major U.S. cities, typical households can afford less than a third of the homes currently on the market. In places where average values top $1 million, the options narrow even further. Having started my career on the lending side and now bringing over 17 years of real estate experience across the Valley, I’ve seen firsthand how rising prices, mortgage rates, and tight inventory can shape the home search. My commitment has always been to help families navigate these hurdles, ensuring they find a place that feels like home—even when the landscape is tough. If you’re feeling the squeeze in today’s market, know that you’re not alone, and the right strategy can make all the difference.
