La Canada Flintridge, January 2016 Real Estate Sales
The home ownership rate was on the rise for the second consecutive quarter as an improving job market and a slight easing in access to credit helped put an end to nearly two years of declines. The share of Americans who own their homes was 63.8 percent in the fourth quarter, which is up from 63.7 percent in the previous three months, the Census Bureau reports. Still, the home ownership rate remains near a 48-year low, which it first reached last year. It also remains far-below the peak it reached at the end of 2004 when the rate was 69.1 percent.
