No Homes in San Francisco within Reach for Teachers<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/span>: A refreshed version of this report, including an updated methodology, the most current salary and property information as well as historical analysis is now available to view here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Teachers help form the foundation for strong, local communities, yet just 17 percent of homes for sale in California are affordable on a teacher\u2019s salary. That percentage drops to zero in pricey San Francisco, where the average teacher can\u2019t afford a single home. With the current median list price in California at $485,000, the state\u2019s 300,000 elementary, middle and high school teachers, who have an average annual salary of $69,300, will find it difficult to impossible to find an affordable home. How did we get to this point?<\/p>\n

The California real estate market has been exceptional since the gold rush in the 1800s. People continue to come from across the country and around the world seeking the sun, surf and silicon (jobs). This demand has driven up home prices across the state for many decades. Compounding the affordability problem, in many areas, not enough new homes have been built to keep up. The result is that homeownership is out of reach for most working Californians. In fact, according to the U.S. Census, 71 percent of Californians households earn less than $100,000 per year.<\/p>\n

What is an Affordable Price?<\/h2>\n

Finding an affordable home is about balancing your income with your monthly mortgage payment and other expenses. A general guideline when buying a home is that a monthly home payment should not exceed 28 percent of your gross monthly income. On an average annual salary of $69,300, a teacher should pay no more than about $1,600 a month. Given current interest rates, property taxes, home insurance and home owners association (HOA) expenses, a teacher can afford a $260,000 single family home or condo. Of the 50,559 for sale in California, just 17.4 percent are listed below $260,000.<\/p>\n

Just how hard is it to find an affordable home? In San Francisco County, the average teacher earns $59,700 per year and there are zero<\/strong> homes for sale that we have calculated as affordable on such a salary. By comparison, there are 139 listings with price tags over $1 million. In San Mateo, there are currently seven<\/strong> homes for sale in a teacher\u2019s price range, while there are 254 homes listed for more than $1 million.<\/p>\n

Pockets of Affordability Along the Coast and Inland<\/h2>\n

Counties along the Pacific Coast are generally much less affordable than inland counties, but ocean-loving teachers can find a few more options in Marin and Orange counties, where 12 percent and 9 percent of currently listed homes are affordable on a teacher’s salary, respectively. Away from the coast, from Riverside up through San Bernardino and Sacramento, teachers can afford a third to half of homes currently for sale.<\/p>\n

What a Teacher\u2019s Salary Can Buy<\/h2>\n

Although it may only be a 490-square-foot studio in San Mateo, or a 1-bed, 1-bath condo in Santa Clara, here\u2019s a look at what a teacher\u2019s salary can buy in each county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
