Analyst Quote · with voice, attributable

“Nevada's MonitorBankRates (MBR) Housing Affordability Index score of 88.2 places it #40 of 51 nationwide. Below the 100 baseline, that means buyer purchasing power in Nevada is weaker than the long-run national average computed at a 6.5% mortgage rate. The state's 30-year average is currently 6.291%, and the index lags the national average.”
