The two entities launched a survey to provide more insight into […]

Homebuilders are keeping their cool and waiting patiently until younger Americans transition from renting to buying a home. The good news is housing supply is down, creating some room for homebuilders to return when the market balance leans in their favor.

Currently at 2.07 million units, housing inventory is at its sixth lowest level in 30 years, according to Capital Economics. […]
