More than two thirds of Americans own homes—often their largest financial asset—which makes the long, hard slog the housing market has been going through in recent years a unique source of common interest in an otherwise diverse and sometimes fractured society.

Whether it’s home prices, mortgage rates, or building trends, housing issues are more important than ever, not least because they are so intimately intertwined with the broader economy. This blog will cover the news and trends that affect real estate, housing, and mortgage finance, translating the latest developments as they relate to you: the consumer and homeowner.
