Q:
Where
do I get information on housing market stats?
A:
A HomeJoy 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.
Q:

do I get information on manufactured housing?
A:
For information on manufactured housing,
request information from:
* "Questions and Answers on Manufactured
