Home affordability gets even tougher across U.S. During third quarter as home prices and mortgage rates rise further ATTOM has released its third-quarter 2023 U.S. Home Affordability Report showing that median-priced single-family homes and condos are less affordable in the third quarter of 2023 compared to historical averages in 99 percent of counties around the nation with enough data to analyze. The latest trend continues a two-year pattern of home ownership getting more and more difficult for average U.S. wage earners. The report shows that affordability has worsened across the nation amid a third-quarter increase in home prices and home-mortgage rates that has combined to help push the typical portion of average wages nationwide required for major homeownership expenses up to 35 percent. The latest number is considered unaffordable by common lending standards, which call for a 28 percent debt-to-income ratio. It marks the highest level since 2007 and stands well above the 21 percent figure from early in 2021, right before homemortgage rates began shooting up from historic lows. Home ownership keeps getting tougher for buyers as average 30-year homemortgage rates in the U.S. have risen above 7 percent, from under 3 percent in 2021, and home prices have increased again in the third quarter of this year. The nationwide median price of single-family homes and condos is up 2 percent from the second quarter, to a new record of $351,250. Typical values around the country have gone up for two straight quarters, from a fallback that lasted from the middle of 2022 into early

2023 and threatened to end the extended boom that has buoyed the U.S. housing market for 11 years running. Those latest price and interest rate hikes, along with other forces, continue to push the typical cost of major ownership expenses up far faster than wages, resulting in declining home affordability. “The dynamics influencing the U.S. housing market appear to continuously work against everyday Americans, potentially to the point where they could start to have a significant impact on home prices,” said Rob Barber, CEO for ATTOM. “We clearly aren’t there yet, as the market keeps going up and the slowdown we saw last year looks more and more like a temporary lull. But with basic homeownership now soaking up more than a third of average pay, the stage is set for some potential buyers to be priced out, which would reduce demand and the upward pressure on prices. We will see how this shakes out as the peak 2023 buying season winds down.” Despite the ongoing path of affordability going against buyers, the forces creating that scenario remain in flux, which could push the trend up or down in the coming months. Home values are up, but at a typically modest third-quarter pace, and mortgage rates have started to settle down. At the same time, though, the stock market has fallen back in the past couple of months after a year of gains, and inflation has ticked upward after a year of declines. Those shifting sands both help and hurt the buying power of house hunters, which could send

affordability numbers in either direction. The report determined affordability for average wage earners by calculating the amount of income needed to meet major monthly home ownership expenses — including mortgage payments, property taxes and insurance — on a medianpriced single-family home, assuming a 20 percent down payment and a 28 percent maximum “front-end” debt-to-income ratio. That required income was then compared to annualized average weekly wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (see full methodology below). Compared to historical levels, median home prices in 574 of the 578 counties analyzed in the third quarter of 2023 are less affordable than in the past. That is up from 568 of the same group of counties in the second quarter of 2023 and 552 in the third quarter of 2022. It remains more than double the number that was less affordable historically two years ago. Meanwhile, major home-ownership expenses on typical homes are considered unaffordable to average local wage earners during the third quarter of 2023 in 457, or more than three-quarters, of the 578 counties in the report, based on the 28 percent guideline. Counties with the largest populations that are unaffordable in the third quarter are Los Angeles County, CA; Cook County (Chicago), IL; Maricopa County (Phoenix), AZ; San Diego County, CA, and Orange County, CA (outside Los Angeles). The most populous of the 121 counties

City of Charlotte receives $1.1M grant for tree care in Corridors of Opportunity The City of Charlotte’s Landscape Management Division was awarded a $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service to protect and preserve trees in historically underinvested neighborhoods, called Corridors of Opportunity. The grant is part of a $1 billion investment in urban and community forestry across all 50 states as well as several U.S. territories and tribal nations. “This funding symbolizes a shared commitment to the preservation and protection of our cherished trees, which are not only crucial to our environment but also integral to our community’s cultural and historical fabric,” said Monica Holmes, Corridors of Opportunity executive manager. “This grant will undoubtedly leave a lasting, positive impact on our communities, fostering a sense of pride and unity as we work handin-hand toward a greener, more equitable future.” Landscape Management was awarded the grant to fund two programs in Charlotte’s Corridors of Opportunity: The Canopy Care Program ($600,000) and Tree Maintenance Program ($500,000). The Canopy Care Program will plant new trees, prune existing trees and remove hazardous trees to enhance the overall canopy health on private property within Charlotte’s designated communities. Landscape Management is partnering with Housing & Neighborhood

Services to identify eligible property owners for this program. The Tree Maintenance Program will also prioritize Corridors of Opportunity for public tree maintenance work including pruning young and mature trees, removing hazardous trees and stump grinding to prepare sites for replacement trees. Arborists with Landscape Management will identify tree care locations in public rights-of-way. Trees remove pollutants from the air, intercept rainwater to reduce erosion, help mitigate stormwater runoff, store billions of tons of carbon dioxide, and provide food and homes for a diversity of wildlife. Studies show that trees reduce

mental fatigue, stress and the risk for heat-related illness. Trees reduce energy costs for houses and businesses, increase commerce, and increase home values. Residents in several neighborhoods have expressed a fear of falling limbs that could threaten their homes and families. This fear can lead to unnecessary tree removal in areas where tree canopy is most needed. While planting new trees is a priority, existing trees will also receive regular inspection and pruning to help them grow to their fullest potential. Regular care helps trees live longer and provides significant benefit to residents. Staff report

Home prices increase again nationwide, up in two-thirds of local markets

After dropping or staying about the same from mid-2022 to early-2023, the national median home price has increased for the second quarter in a row, to $351,250 in the third quarter of 2023. The latest price is up 2.1 percent from $344,000 in the second

quarter of 2023 and 6.5 percent from $329,813 in the third quarter of last year. Data was analyzed for counties with a population of at least 100,000 and at least 50 single-family home and condo sales in the third quarter of 2023. Among the 47 counties in the report with a population of at least 1 million, the biggest year-over-year increases in median prices during the third quarter of 2023 are in Fulton County (Atlanta), GA (up 23 percent); St. Louis County, MO (up 14 percent); Miami-Dade County, FL (up 11 percent); Orange County, CA (outside Los Angeles) (up 10 percent) and Palm Beach County (West Palm Beach), FL (up 10 percent).

The typical $2,053 cost of mortgage payments, homeowner insurance, mortgage insurance and property taxes nationwide exceeds $2,000 for the first time ever. It now consumes 34.6 percent of the average annual national wage of $71,214. That is up from 32.3 percent in the second quarter of 2023 and 28.4 percent the third quarter of last year, to the highest level since 2007.

That is up from about two-thirds of the same group of counties a year ago and 44 percent two years ago. “This pattern really jumps out,” Barber said. “While lenders will often push the 28 percent rule, especially if buyers have lots of financial resources outside of wages, we now are seeing fully three-quarters of markets around the country pushing the basic lending benchmark.” Counties with the largest annual increase in the portion of average local wages needed for major ownership expenses include Santa

MARGENAU-Don’t know much about Medicare I just got my annual Medicare guidebook called “Medicare and You 2024” in the mail. I’m assuming this booklet is mailed to everyone in the country who is on Medicare. So, if you are on Medicare, I’m sure you got one too. Regular readers of this column know that I’ve pointed out a thousand times that I am a Social Security expert but that I know very little about Medicare. Still, I get questions from readers all the time asking me about Medicare. My reply is almost always the same. I refer them to a Medicare expert. And that would be someone called a “SHIP” counselor. That stands for State Health Insurance Program counselor. To find the SHIP nearest you, go to www. shiphelp.org. But I am going to spend the rest of this column relaying some interesting tidbits about Medicare. It won’t be anything even close to a “guide” to Medicare. If you’re looking for that, read the 2024 edition of “Medicare and You” I mentioned at the beginning of this column. So here are my Medicare tidbits. They are just some interesting pieces of information about the Medicare program I’ve learned over the years. The first tidbit is this: why don’t I know anything about Medicare? Many of you probably think I should

because I worked for the Social Security Administration for 32 years, and in most people’s minds, Social Security and Medicare are inextricably linked. Part of the reason for that is because the Social Security payroll tax (6.2%) and the Medicare payroll tax (1.45%) used to be lumped together as a 7.65% FICA tax deduction. (FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act.) But FICA, which used to be shown on everyone’s pay stub, is kind of a dying term. For many years now, pay stubs have listed the Social Security tax and the Medicare tax separately. Still, people link the taxes and thus link the programs. Another reason people lump Social Security and Medicare together is because you usually have to deal with the Social Security Administration to get enrolled in Medicare. Why is that? It makes for an interesting story. When Medicare was first passed in the 1960s, Congress didn’t know what to do with the program from an administrative standpoint. So, they essentially dumped it on the SSA and said, “You guys figure out how to run Medicare.” The SSA created a whole separate division to do that, called the “Bureau of Health Insurance.” It was always kind of a stepchild within the agency because, after all, our primary job was to maintain earnings records

NOTICE OF SERVICE OF PROCESS BY PUBLICATION STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA MECKLENBURG COUNTY IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION Charles Branish v. Aaron Hannon 23-CVS-3858 TO: Aaron Hannon Take notice that a pleading seeking relief against you has been filed in the above-entitled action. The nature of the relief being sought is as follows: Plaintiff is seeking monetary damages and relief for damages sustained in a motor vehicle accident. You are required to make defense to such pleading not later than November 19, 2023, which is 40 days from the first publication of this notice.

for all working Americans, take claims for Social Security benefits and pay monthly benefits that would be based on those earnings. This Medicare stuff was as foreign to most SSA employees as it was to most Americans. Top government administrators finally figured this out and decided that Medicare, with all its complexities, needed a dedicated agency to run it. So, in 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created. (In 2001, it changed its name to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.) But still, a connection between Social Security and Medicare continues. Because HCFA, and then CMMS, don’t have field offices around the country, they farmed out the Medicare enrollment process to the SSA. So that’s why still today, you will usually work with the SSA to sign up for Medicare. Also, the Medicare Part B premium comes out of your Social Security check. (More about that in a minute.) But other than that, the SSA has nothing to do with the Medicare program. Let me share an interesting personal tidbit about Medicare and my early days with the SSA. I was hired by the SSA in 1973 and my first job was one that helped Social Security beneficiaries with any issues they had after they went on the program, like changes of address or maybe some kind of problem with their Social Security checks. But it also included Medicare post-entitlement issues. And here is what that meant in real life. Nice little old ladies would show up at my desk with a shoebox full of medical bills and say, “Would you turn these in to Medicare for me?” Gosh, those were the old (and not necessarily good) days! There is one more piece to this story. I was hired in March 1973 to work in the Litchfield, Illinois Social Security office. But the office was a few weeks away from opening and I was waiting in the nearby Springfield, Illinois office to be sent to a training class. While I was waiting, Litchfield had a little “grand opening” celebration, and I was invited. I don’t know why, but the Litchfield office manager introduced me by saying, “Tom will be our Medicare expert.” OMG! After the ceremony, I think every old person in Litchfield came up to me with Medicare questions. I can’t remember now how I ducked those questions. And here I am today, 50 years later, still ducking questions about Medicare. But I hope, dear readers, at least you now

understand why I don’t know much about the program. And here are a couple more little Medicare tidbits I do know that I hope you find interesting. For example, did you know that the Medicare payroll tax, currently 1.45%, only pays for the hospital insurance part of the program, more commonly known as Part A? The other main part of the program, “doctor’s insurance,” or Part B, is paid for by a monthly premium usually deducted from someone’s Social Security check. And even though people always complain about the amount of that premium, currently $164.90, it actually only pays for 25% of the cost of running the program. The taxpayers pick up the other 75%. For years, many have argued that senior citizens should pay a bigger share of the Part B costs. That’s why in the early 2000s, Congress decided that wealthy Americans should pay more. And they do. Trouble is, sometimes people are temporarily “wealthy” because they sell some property or cash in some investments. So, for a couple years, they pay the wealthy person’s premium before going back to the regular premium. And this leads to all kinds of problems and questions. If you have such questions, contact the SHIP I mentioned earlier. One last little tidbit. I’ve been talking about the Part B premium, which comes out of your Social Security check. You probably know that those checks are paid one month behind. So, the Social Security check you get in October is your September Social Security payment. But did you know that the Medicare premium that comes out of that check you get in October is for the month of October? In other words, the check is for the prior month, but the Medicare deduction is for the current month. Weird, huh? If you have a Social Security question, Tom Margenau has two books with all the answers. One is called “Social Security -- Simple and Smart: 10 Easyto-Understand Fact Sheets That Will Answer All Your Questions About Social Security.” The other is “Social Security: 100 Myths and 100 Facts.” You can find the books at Amazon.com or other book outlets.

GOLDMAN: Is your company playing the name game? Blame it on the internet. If it wasn’t for the internet, we wouldn’t have giant tech companies and their high-tech jargon seeping into our business lives, making everything we do, and everything we say about everything we do, totally unintelligible. Consider “feedback.” Since Hector was a pup, giving and getting feedback has been integral to successful companies. Getting negative feedback may be painful, yes, but it does give employees insight into what they are doing wrong and how they might improve. The giver of feedback also benefits. If it’s a boss, they get to feel super-powerful and work out their sadism in a company-approved procedure. Well, you can forget about getting feedback ever again. From here on out, you will be getting (and giving) “feedforward,” which has the disadvantage of making very little sense but does replace the negative “back” with the more positive “forward.” Of course, “back” is not always a negative. Imagine the fate of a jungle expedition, coming across a herd of angry rhinos, if the leader decided that they shouldn’t bring negativity into the situation and instead announced, “Let’s go forward.” Score one for the rhinos, I’m afraid. I first realized a new crop of workplace jargon had ballooned into a pervasive miasma of office-wide obfuscation when I read “How Corporate Jargon Can Obscure Reality,” a recent article from Lora Kelley in the Atlantic. Kelley explains the birth of the new buzzwords to “industries looking to emulate tech, with its notoriously high volume of jargon.” This is why employees in low-tech or no-tech industries no longer work. They “pivot,” “ideate” and “synergize.” They “make asks”; they “operationalize.” I’m not sure these nuggets of jargon will replace our traditional buzzwords for describing employee performance, like “goof off ” and “tuned out” and don’t forget “kiss up,” a very descriptive oldschool buzzword hardly improved if you call it “oculationize.” Are there any advantages to the new nomenclature? In terms of job titles, there is a refreshing honesty. Think about the VP who becomes the “VP of

HOME PRICES FROM PAGE 3

Annual wages of more than $75,000 needed to afford typical home in more than half of counties analyzed

Annual wages of more than $75,000 are needed to pay for major costs on the median-priced home purchased during the third quarter of 2023 in 330, or 57 percent, of the 578 markets in the report. All but one of the top 25 highest annual wages required to afford typical homes are on the east or west coasts, led by New York County (Manhattan), NY ($407,125); Santa Clara County (San Jose), CA ($357,889); San Mateo County (outside San Francisco), CA ($356,519); Marin County (outside San Francisco), CA

Making Dreams Die.” What better way to describe a manager who will enthusiastically agree to implementing your bold plans, which will never see the light of day, unless, of course, they reappear with the VP’s name on them? The diaspora of office workers during the pandemic has given rise to the title, “Head of Team Anywhere.” The job description for this position must include finding employees in their home offices around the globe, and twisting their arms -- and their salaries -- until they agree to come back to the office. The Head of Team Anywhere is also responsible for ideating irresistible improvements to woo the remote worker back to their cubicles. If you are currently enjoying “Fondue Friday” and “Free Kidney Transplant Tuesday,” you now know who to thank. There is also the “Head of Dynamic Work,” a title which describes an executive who encourages employees to shift smoothly between departments, so that they can combine

the expertise of Technology and Finance to develop a product, bring in Operations Management to actually produce the product, add Marketing to sell the product and, finally, Human Resources, so they can fire themselves when the product bombs. Now, that’s dynamic. Hoping for a rebrand, the Human Resources Department has jumped on the name game. Whatever the resources it makes available, no one ever believed they are for the benefit of humans. This gave birth to a new title, “Chief People Officer.” This didn’t work, either, since everyone knows HR professionals are not people. Thus, we now deal with the “Chief Heart Officer.” It’s a good name, but HR has definitely aligned itself with the wrong organ. Chief Liver Officer or Chief Small Intestine Officer are much more accurate. Chief Ulcer Officer has a nice ring to it, too, since an ulcer is exactly what you will wind up with after dealing with this department.

(Note: The head of HR has the opportunity to capitalize on their exceptional ability to instill fear. The “Chief of the Firing Squad” title would accomplish this perfectly.) If management’s decision to play fast and loose with titles bothers you, don’t think you can escape. You’re never going to be fired. You will be “re-engineered.” You won’t be laid off. You’ll experience a “Reduction in Force” or “RIF.” It’s a comforting acronym for those who no longer have a “Go-Forward Role.” You have a “Go Home Role,” or a “Go Bye-Bye Role,” or “an opportunity to explore what life has to offer.” Whatever you call it, you’re still fired.

Biden is talking about green energy and jobs in Pennsylvania again. Will his message break through? WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is returning to Pennsylvania to use the critical battleground state again as a backdrop for some of his favorite political themes, championing steep increases in public works spending and detailing how bolstering green energy can spur U.S. manufacturing. This time, he will be at the port in Philadelphia to declare it one of seven regional hubs selected around the country to produce and deliver hydrogen fuel that can run factories and other facilities, as well as key components of heavy industry, to limit greenhouse gas emissions. A centerpiece of the Biden administration’s clean energy plan, the hubs will be paid for using $7 billion from the sweeping infrastructure package that cleared Congress in 2021. The world has changed since Biden visited a familiar place to talk up familiar topics, though. The war between Israel and Hamas has scrambled geopolitics and potentially reshuffled a 2024 presidential race beginning to heat up. Getting the public’s attention could be a tall order given the focus on fighting and atrocities in Gaza, and the Americans among those being held hostage by Hamas. Other domestic matters also are competing for political attention, with the fight over choosing the next Republican House speaker potentially imperiling continued U.S. aid to Ukraine, and a United Auto Workers strike entering its fifth week. On top of all that, the president’s son, Hunter, is facing federal gun charges and Biden himself recently sat for interviews with a special prosecutor investigating his handling of classified documents — though that may signal the case is nearing a conclusion. Any struggle to shift attention to Biden’s domestic agenda highlights larger questions about the president’s overall reelection strategy and whether messaging primarily built around the president’s policy accomplishments and ability to govern can compete with ever-changing world events that shake up politics in real time. “Will the country care? In the political class, in the news-absorbing part of the population, nationally? No,” Cathal Nolan,

director of the International History Institute at Boston University and the author of several books on diplomatic and military history, said of Biden’s hydrogen production announcement. “But I don’t think that’s what infrastructure speeches are about, ever,” Nolan added. “I think it’s about the local impact.” Indeed, allies contend Biden should stay on political message as he seeks reelection, stressing steady leadership approaches even in a time of crisis, and highlighting how the government is improving middleclass lives as he heads into a potential rematch with Donald Trump, who has a commanding lead in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. The Philadelphia speech is part of what his administration is calling the third installment of Biden’s Investing in America Tour, which will see the president, Vice President Kamala Harris and key Cabinet members travel the country to promote economic policies. Biden heads to Colorado on Monday. “When there’s an international crisis, you’ve got to be leading,” said Joel Rubin, who was an Obama administration State Department official and a veteran of Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign. “The fact that he’s going to continue to be out there demonstrates leadership.” Friday’s trip notwithstanding, Biden has made the situation in Gaza a priority, speaking frequently with his foreign advisers and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He met with Jewish community leaders at the White House this week and has said that “the U.S. has Israel’s back” while decrying the “sheer evil” of Islamic militants. “There’s a lot we’re doing. A lot we’re doing,” Biden said of U.S. efforts to rescue American hostages, noting that he couldn’t discuss such efforts publicly given security concerns. The president also announced other policy efforts this week, including announcing more attempts to curb “ junk fees,” and meeting with CEOs. Rubin said the Biden administration has championed a “foreign policy for the middle

class,” which emphasizes domestic economic and industrial strength and reinvigorating global alliances. That helps explain the thought process behind Friday’s speech, he said. “Communicating why his policy is working for the American people economically ... that undergirds American national power overseas. You take that away, you have nothing,” said Rubin, who also founded J Street, a liberal Jewish advocacy group in Washington, and is running for Congress in Maryland. Biden’s reelection campaign has joined the White House in stressing that being president always means juggling multiple pressing concerns. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said, “The president has to do multiple things at once.” She noted that Biden “has been engaged in the horrific situation in Israel” but, in Philadelphia, “He’s going to continue to talk about what he’s doing to bring back manufacturing, to create good-paying jobs.” “That is something Americans also want to hear,” Jean-Pierre said. Still, selling Biden’s economic agenda to voters wasn’t easy even before the outbreak of war in Gaza. Just 36% of U.S. adults approved of Biden’s handling of the economy in August, slightly lower than the 42% who approved of his overall performance, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Whatever the message, the president can help himself politically Friday just by staying focused on Pennsylvania, said longtime Democratic strategist Robert Shrum. “If he wins the state he’s very likely to win reelection,” Shrum said. “So they can do the event in Philadelphia and get a lot of attention for it.” Biden appears to be betting on that strategy, heaping Pennsylvania with attention that has included a visit per month recently — acutely aware that it is one of a few toss-up states where outcomes can really sway the election, along with Georgia and Arizona, as well as perhaps Wisconsin and Michigan. Since formally announcing his reelection bid in April, Biden addressed some of the nation’s largest unions at the Philadelphia convention center after they jointly endorsed him in June, the only 2024 campaign rally he’s held so far. He returned to Philadelphia in July, visiting a shipyard where he talked up how organized labor would lead a major push toward embracing green energy. He made an August trip for a funeral to Scranton, Pennsylvania, where he was born, and was in Philadelphia last month for an ALF-CIO Labor Day event. “It’s the power of incumbency that he can work policy speeches into places that he’s going to,” said Mustafa Rashed, a Philadelphia-based Democratic strategist. “Everything is about 2024 at this point.”

shoppers are more likely to face another consideration: They want to know if their home will be safe from rising waters, extreme temperatures and wildfires.” A clear majority of prospective buyers in each region of the United States consider at least one climate risk when shopping for a home. People in the West are most likely to report climate risk as very or extremely impactful in their home search, followed by those in the Northeast. On the flip side, one-third of Midwestern and Southern shoppers say climate risks are not very impactful or not at all impactful to their real estate journey. Climate risks are a major concern for younger home shoppers, who are driving the market. The median age of today’s home buyer is 39, and firsttime buyers make up 50% of all buyers. Millennial and Gen Z shoppers — who comprise 54% of all home buyers — are

most likely to consider a climate risk when determining where to shop for a home. Across generations, a majority of shoppers reported taking into account at least one climate risk when looking for their next home. While climate risk is affecting attitudes, it isn’t to the point where majorities of buyers are considering a move to a region they consider less risky. About half plan to remain in areas that pose the same climate risks they already face. Some are even thinking about moving to areas with more risks. Only 23% reported that they are considering homes in areas that they believe to be safer from the dangers of climate disasters. Affordability is still the greatest hurdle for consumers, especially firsttime home shoppers, who tend to accept what they can afford. It takes nearly 12 years for a typical first-time buyer

to save up for a down payment. Zillow home listings display down payment assistance, and a new app filter helps shoppers understand their actual monthly mortgage cost rather than a home’s list price. Working with a knowledgeable real estate professional is a great way to navigate both the affordability hurdle and climate challenges in today’s home shopping search. Zillow also publishes industryleading research to help inform consumers, increase transparency and shape the conversation in real estate. Zillow’s forthcoming Consumer Housing Trends Report survey of buyers is slated to be published this fall. The study was fielded between April and July 2023 and surveyed nearly 12,000 prospective buyers. The full report will include a detailed summary of the climate research, as well as broader trends. Staff report

More than 80% of home shoppers consider climate risks when looking for a new home More than 4 out of 5 prospective home buyers consider climate risks as they shop, new Zillow research shows. Most say their major concern is flood risk, followed by wildfires, extreme temperatures, hurricanes and drought. “Climate risks impact where most prospective buyers shop for a home,” said Zillow senior population scientist Manny Garcia. “While all generations juggle trade-offs like budget, floor plans and commute times, younger home
