Harvard released their annual “State of the Nation’s Housing” report this week. We haven’t had a chance to do anything other than skim the contents (current slowdown should be moderate; most immediate risks: interest rates, erosion of affordability, and growing inventory; long-term outlook for housing is bright), but for those who want to join us in a little light weekend reading (lots of pretty graphics), the full report is available online (warning: 5.1mb pdf). Just remember, they’re talking about macro level trends which may, or may not, be relevant to the local market.
A tip of the hat to the Matrix for pointing out the link to the pdf.
