As the nation goes to vote next week for key House and Senate positions, we take a look at how the outcome of your votes is likely to impact the housing market.

A recent report discovers how the new Amazon headquarters will impact the housing market in the metro it moves to.

New data shows rents are steadily increasing, and with increasingly tight housing inventory, those rents will likely get even higher as potential buyers are driven toward renting. Experts expect rents to increase 1.5 percent by the end of the summer. They’ve already grown more in five months of 2017 than all of 2016 combined.

The rate of homeowners in the U.S. has reached a historic low. Many question if the largest living generation, millennials, will purchase homes at similar rates to previous generations. Apartment List’s annual renter survey included input from 24,000 millennials, which they analyzed to better understand millennial homeownership plans.

New research shows that millennial renters want to purchase a home, but based on current savings rates, they may need to save up for a decade or longer before they are able to come up with a 20 percent down payment.
