Will Housing Affordability Ever Improve?

Yes — housing affordability can improve, but it depends on several economic factors:

• Interest rates decreasing
  • More homes entering the market
  • New construction increasing
  • Wage growth catching up
  • Inflation slowing

Chester County communities like Exton, Chester Springs, and West Chester remain competitive, but affordability can still improve as market conditions normalize.

Top Philly Suburbs Realtor Bela Vora, with 15+ years of real estate experience, emphasizes that affordability is not static. Even small changes in mortgage rates can significantly impact monthly payments.

For some buyers, affordability improves when:
✔ They receive grants or first-time buyer incentives
✔ They expand their neighborhood search
✔ They build equity and “trade up” later
✔ They choose condos or townhomes instead of single-family homes
