Vacant Home
The US Census bureau reported vacancy statistics this week, and the numbers are not good, in spite of some of the administrations efforts to improve homeownership. There are a total of 130.6 million households in the United States, and of that, 18.9 million are currently vacant. Those numbers are a bit higher than at the end of 2008.
It would appear that in spite of the improvements in the housing market nationally in the last year, many more job losses have occurred in the last 12 months, which have kept the numbers stale.
