Photo courtesy of Seattle Times LiveWire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Redfin Chief Economist Nela Richardson told a packed house at the University of Washington on Tuesday that a\u00a0lack of housing affordability\u00a0in the region and across the country\u00a0boils down to one key issue: stagnant wages.<\/p>\n<p>Nela\u00a0joined a four-person panel to address the topic of housing affordability in Seattle. \u201cPriced out: The struggle for an affordable Seattle,\u201d\u00a0was the third event\u00a0in\u00a0the LiveWire series of discussions about vital issues affecting the region, sponsored by The Seattle Times. What was intended to be a discussion of a local issue often\u00a0addressed affordability as a whole, not just in the Seattle area.<\/p>\n<p>Sanjay Bhatt, a Seattle Times reporter who moderated the discussion, began the conversation by asking each panel member to define affordability and why Seattle is becoming unaffordable. This was Nela&#8217;s response:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To me, affordability is synonymous with incomes. You can&#8217;t really distinguish the two. An affordability problem is an income problem, plain and simple. And the issue we have had not just in Seattle but around the country is that house prices have grown more quickly than incomes. In fact, incomes have basically been stagnating for the middle class for the past 20 to 30 years. Without income growth in the face of high house price appreciation, you can&#8217;t have affordability.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Nela acknowledged some of the attempts to address affordability, including rent control, inclusionary zoning, subsidies for homeownership and down payments and mortgage assistance, but said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll talk about all these things, which basically make affordability a lottery. The lucky person gets the affordable home and everybody else is still struggling. But the key issue is income. And so, without an income solution, we won&#8217;t have an affordable housing solution.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Her response received a round of applause, the first of many the audience gave the panel\u00a0during the evening.\u00a0The other panel members were\u00a0Skylar Olsen, senior economist at Zillow;\u00a0Jake McKinstry, a principal at real estate firm Spectrum Development Solutions; and\u00a0David Rolf, president of Service Employees International Union 775.
