New Report Shows Ohio Saw the Biggest Decline in Homeownership Affordability

Ohio had the steepest decline in homeownership affordability between 2020 to 2025, according to new reporting from the National Housing Conference.

The number of occupations able to afford a typically priced home with a 10 percent down payment fell nearly 41 percent across Ohio’s metropolitan areas from 2020 to 2025, according to the second annual Priced Out: When a Good Job Isn't Enough report.
