Suburban Housing Shift Eases in the Third Quarter
Based on new findings of the third quarter National Association of Home Builder’s Home Building Geography Index, the suburban shift for single-family home buying precipitated in large part by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic last year continues.
Yet new data reveals that higher density markets are making a comeback as well.

Also revealed is that permits are running strong in counties with a high concentration of second homes.
