Homebuyers Face Squeeze in Rising Housing Costs
Washington reports prices for entry level homes are climbing, threatening middle class access. New homes under 12 000 to 15 000 vanished by 1970, with 20 000 and under now under 10 of new houses. Factors include easier credit, higher costs, land limits, sewer rules, lumber spikes, and demand for larger homes. Levittown’s $6,900 model now sells around 35 000, and workers earning 15 000 cannot afford even the cheapest new homes. Officials say the trend makes decent housing available mainly to the affluent, as prices rise by about 3 000 annually.
