2021 Session Review: Home Ownership
Session reviewHousing Jobs, Business & Economy
As home values increase across the state, more individuals are priced out of the market and not able to purchase a home or have to move where they can afford a home (which may require a longer commute for work). Throughout session, the building industry said that every $1,000 increase in the cost of building a new home prices more than 2,500 people out of the market to be able to buy a home.
