The National Association of Realtors said its housing afTbrda-bilitv index reached 104.6 in April, up from 103.9 in March.

That means a family earning the median income of $34,032 had 104.6 percent of the income needed to qualify for conventional financing cov ering 80 percent of a median-priced home costing $95,300. The median income means half the families earned more and half less. The median price means half of the homes cost more, half less. The median price of a home in April declined $1,000 from March, meaning the income needed to qualify for a loan dropped $96 to $32,544. At the CjBernie Hill and compare before you buy.
