Moves across county and state lines are falling, with the 2007-2009 recession blamed for changing Americans’ moving patterns, according to an analysis of census data through 2010. The Great Recession caused more Americans to move because they could no longer afford to remain where they were. That’s a big change in what traditionally motivates Americans to move — a bigger home or higher paying job, USA Today reports about the analysis. Nine percent of Americans stayed local with their moves during 2007-2009 period — the highest in a decade. “Typically, […]

Builder confidence in newly built single-family homes dropped one point in February, virtually leveling out after solid gains the past year, the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index shows.

The labor market quietly reached a milestone of sorts last month. Private-sector employment topped its pre-recession high — if housing-related industries are excluded. The achievement, revealed in a study by RBC Capital Markets, shows that much of the job market is chugging along nicely. But it also underscores the outsize importance of housing to the economy and the reality that the recovery isn’t likely to take off in earnest until housing kicks into a higher gear. “Housing has massive tentacles,” says RBC Chief U.S. Economist Tom Porcelli. “Low (interest) rates […]

Inventories typically fall in December and January in preparation of the spring buying season. “But the shortage of homes for sale in a growing number of U.S. markets is maddening for would-be buyers who frequently complain that there aren’t enough good […]
