Question:
Where do I get information on housing
market stats?
Answer:
A real estate agent
is a good source for finding out the status of the local
housing market. So is your statewide association of
Realtors, most of which are continuously compiling such
statistics from local real estate boards.
For overall housing statistics, U.S.
Housing Markets (meyersgroup.com) regularly publishes
quarterly reports on home building and home buying. Your
local builders association probably gets this report.
Finally, check with the U.S.
Bureau of the Census in Washington, D.C.; (301)
763-3199; census.gov.
The Chicago Title company also has published a pamphlet,
"Who's Buying Homes in America." Write Chicago
Title 601 Riverside Ave., Jacksonville, FL 32204; (888)
934-3354; ctic.com.
