 “Housing ” a Determinant of Real Estate Market

              The real estate market is driven by the demand for housing by households.   Houses available for sale or rent set the levels of supply available for households. The ratio of housing demand and its supply determines the valuation of real estate property.   Household well-being, housing choices, investment, and economic well-being determine the state of the real estate market. In this blog post, we will explore the key points about housing in the real estate market.
