The housing market has been turbulent for the past decade, but 2016 has started with a positive trend. According to the Nationwide Economics’ Health of Housing Markets (HoHM) Report, the Leading Index of Healthy Housing Markets (LIHHM) for the third quarter of 2015 was higher than 100, their neutral number, and this typically designates a healthy market.

The U.S. Census Bureau reports more than 1 in 4 families with children under the age of 18 are headed by a single parent and more than 3 out of 4 single parent families are headed by a female.

The research group asserts that continued labor market demand will result in higher wages and job security in the coming year, and that banks will release more flexible lending programs making the process of obtaining mortgage loans easier for millions of Americans. These characteristics indicate a housing market on the upswing with happy, capable buyers; but it’s not that simple. Continue reading
