Home Ownership Sales and Rents?

By
Industry Observer with Howard Sumner Consulting

Thought to ponder as we progress down the road,  in the second quarter of 2004 home ownership rate peaked at 69.2% dropping  to 65% in the first quarter of 2013. What opportunities and challenges does that present in the housing market . In May 2013 existing home sales were seasonally adjusted rate to be 5,180,000 the peak was 2005 at 7,076,000, so sales are still, nationally 26.79% off the peak. How does this affect your view of probably total sales nationwide as interest rates rise and what happens to rents?
