Adkins Valuation Methodology (RHVA)Income Used: % of gross monthly income consumed by the home price mortgage at the live rate. Above 28% = unaffordable.   Justified Rate: The 30-yr rate at which the home price is exactly affordable at 28% of median income.   Justified Price: Max affordable price at the live rate and 28% threshold.   Required Income: Annual income so payment equals exactly 28% of gross income.   Data Notes: Realtor.com Median Listing Price (MEDLISPRI via FRED) is metro-specific, updated monthly. Listing price ~2–5% above sale price. Zillow ZHVI state-level used as fallback. For stale data use the Manual Calculator above.
