Regional Housing Forum
This is NOT your parent's housing market
June 6, 2012
America became a "suburban" nation after World War II,
principally by meeting the needs of the Baby Boomers.
The "American Dream" was to own a home on a large lot in
the suburbs. That was then and this is now. The American
dream is now plural; people want more out of their
neighborhoods and communities than in the past. Our next
Housing Forum will feature a presentation by Dr. Arthur
C. Nelson and will review how changing demographics,
economics, and financing are changing Americans'
preferences for housing, neighborhoods and communities.
It will also synthesize several national housing
preference surveys to show that what Americans want now
is very different from what they wanted just a
generation ago. The presentation will show the mismatch
between what Americans want and what they have, and
summarize options to close the gap.

Has
the foreclosure crisis reached its peak?
2011 filings in the 10-county region were
lower in 2011 than the previous year.
Experts suggest that the decrease was
related more to the backlog of foreclosures
on hold because of the "robo-signing" issue.
It is predicted that 2012 will be higher
than 2012, but below the 2010 peak.
