Home affordability across America could become a tad more attainable as the household income needed for a typical home declined for the seventh straight month in April, according to a May 26 Redfin report.
In April, households needed to earn $116,780 to buy a typical home—down from $119,191 in April 2025. The homebuying income needed peaked at $122,000 in mid-2025.
