		<title>The Top U.S. Cities for New Home Construction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Construction activity came to a near-halt after the housing bubble burst. The number of new residential units authorized in 2009, 2010, and 2011 was less than one-third of the level during the boom. In 2011, construction activity picked up slightly from 2009 and 2010, as the housing recovery began, with permits for new multifamily buildings [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rising Home Prices: Coming to a Market Near You</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One month ago, we introduced the Trulia Price Monitor and Trulia Rent Monitor as the earliest leading indicators of how asking prices and rents are trending nationally and locally. So what happened to prices and rents in April? April’s Price Rise Makes a Three-Month Streak Nationally, housing prices have bottomed and are on the rise. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Political Fight Over Principal Reduction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With four million homes lost to foreclosure since the housing crisis began, and another 11 million borrowers underwater on their mortgages today, housing policy is focused on keeping current homeowners from losing their homes. This year, Washington housing wonks have fought over &#8220;principal reduction&#8221;: reducing mortgage loan balances for underwater borrowers to help them stay in their [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trulia&#8217;s Housing Barometer: Recovery Slips Backward in March</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What does a “normal” housing market look like, and how far away are we? To figure this out, each month Trulia’s Housing Barometer summarizes three key housing market indicators: new construction starts (Census), existing-home sales (NAR) and the delinquency-plus-foreclosure rate (LPS First Look). For each indicator, we compare this month’s data to (1) how bad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Not All Neighborhoods Created Equal (SF Edition)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever wonder where the other half lives? (We do, though it&#8217;s mainly because we love to gawk at the homes of the rich on our sister site, Luxe Living). But just how far do you have to look to find mega mansions like this $38M hilltop mansion on Billionaire’s Row (aka, where the most expensive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Prices Are Up. Haven’t You Heard?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rely on the major sales-price indexes – Case-Shiller, Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and CoreLogic – as much as the next guy (or the next housing economist, anyway). They’re essential for understanding where home prices have been going. But they come out between five and eight weeks after each month ends, and the sales [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are We There Yet? Trulia&#8217;s Housing Barometer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On the long road of housing recovery, we’re all kids in the back seat wondering: are we there yet? After years of bad news about the housing market, it’s hard to remember what “normal” looks like. This month Trulia kicks off the Housing Barometer, a quick review of three key monthly indicators of housing recovery: [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ain&#8217;t No Lie, It&#8217;s Cheaper to Buy, Buy, Buy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the housing bubble burst, it seems like everyone and their mother can’t stop talking about what a great time it is right now to buy a home, but how good is it really? After years of seeing home prices drop like flies and rental markets tightening up better than pair of Spanx, it’s safe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Springtime for Housing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The housing market rides the seasons.  Year in and year out, market activity has predictable ups and downs. Sometimes those seasonal patterns are hard to see when longer-term trends (like plummeting housing prices) or one-off events (like the homebuyer tax credit) drive movements in prices, sales and other housing indicators. But seasonal patterns are there, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Change is Good &#8211; We&#8217;re Changing Our Name</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we first started this blog nearly a year ago, our goal was to make our plethora of complex housing data easier to digest and even more useful through cool interactive data visualizations. Since then, we&#8217;ve evolved to become even more than that. Bringing together a team of creative design technologists, super-smart data analysts and [...]]]></description>
