What the price-to-income ratio is

The OECD price-to-income ratio compares nominal house prices with household disposable income. A higher reading means prices have outpaced incomes relative to the index history. Latest: 125.1 in 2026 Q1.

This is an affordability ratio, not a mortgage rate and not a typical purchase price. From 1970 Q1 to 2026 Q1 (225 quarters): latest 125.1 (2026 Q1), previous 121.8 (2025 Q4); low 50.1 (1983 Q3), high 125.1 (2026 Q1).
