Homebuyers squeezed as costs curb housing market
Alliance Times Herald editorial notes rising labor costs and high mortgage rates push prices beyond many buyers. It cites New Jersey builder Robert Winnerman about the single family home becoming a luxury item, with about a $14,000 income needed. In 1968, 70 percent of new homes sold above $20,000 as land and construction costs rise and lending tightens amid monetary restraint.

The House backs a four point nine billion urban renewal housing bill and tax changes to spur investment, while Romney warns construction could drop eighty percent by year end.
