Fall:

A recently released study, THE STATE OF THE NATION’S HOUSING 2005 by the JOINT CENTER FOR HOUSING STUDIES OF HARVARD UNIVERSITY speaks to changes in the housing market that will be of interest to any buyer and seller.  The introductory paragraph below illustrates the many factors changing real estate.

"House prices, residential investment, and home sales all set records again in 2004. But higher short-term interest rates and the strongest one-year price appreciation since 1979 made it more difficult for first-time buyers to break into the market. With low-wage jobs increasing and wages for those jobs stagnating, affordability problems will persist even as strong fundamentals lift the trajectory of residential investment."
