Some Housing Markets Are Rising; Others, Not So Much

Nick Timiraos of the Wall Street Journal examines the fragmentation of American housing markets. Timiraos argues that the concept of a “national housing market” no longer remains. In the past, markets across America rose and fell together, but Timiraos proposes an updated, more detailed view of today’s unique market segments:

• Rising-from-the-ashes markets
• The mountains and Midwest
• Those experiencing big price declines
• The expensive housing markets
