The price of new homes has risen steadily since the depths of the Great Recession in 2009, and less than half of homes sold for under $300,000 in the first half of 2017, according to data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The latest numbers show that 45.7% of home sold for under $300,000, compared with 74% in 2009 and 64% in 2007, the year before the recession hit.
Sales prices have been rising so fast that median income has been unable to keep pace, the data showed.
