If You Rely on Timely Housing Market Data,
You Need U.S. Housing Market Conditions

This easy-to-use quarterly report draws on a wide range of public and industry sources to present the latest essential data on the U.S. housing market. For example, readers of the third-quarter 1999 issue of U.S. Housing Market Conditions (released November 1999) will learn ...

  • Homeownership reached record high levels in the third quarter, with 67 percent of American households owning their own homes.

  • Housing permits were issued at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,587,000, down 1 percent from the second quarter and 2 percent from the third quarter of 1998.

  • Multifamily market conditions are steady. Production of multifamily units is generally strong, with permits, starts, and completions up from last quarter.

  • The average price of a new home was $191,900, unchanged from the second quarter but up 4 percent from a year ago. The average price of an existing home rose 2 percent from the second quarter to $172,700 and posted a 7-percent increase from last year.
