If you will lower it - they will buy it, is the way I look at it. Every one percent that there is a price reduction in the home sale price, on a national average, 50,000 additional home buyers could enter the market says National Association of Realtors. A 3% price reduction adds an additional home purchases and a 5% price reduction adds 250,000 more buyers.

An average household must earn $16.31 an hour to rent an average 2 bedroom apartment. It was $15.78 an hour in 2005. (National Low Income Housing Coalition)
