Peer-to-peer lending, or crowdlending to unrelated people done outside of financial institutions has seen robust growth in recent years, especially among homeowners.

Confidence among home builders dipped down slightly in December, but builders remain optimistic about the housing market.

While many factors contribute to the overall health of the housing market and economy, home equity is providing a major boost to the overall position of U.S. households.

Home builder sentiment fell three points in November to levels more consistent with the second half of 2015 after an upward rise in October to the highest level since 2005.

Homebuilders in the single-family 55+ housing market showed strong confidence in the third quarter of 2015, according to the National Association of Home Builders' Housing Market Index.

The cost of building a new single-family home far surpasses the average price tag on an existing home, but aside from mortgage payment differences, there are pros and cons to both options.

New home sales declines and a weak jobs report in September may have some a bit skeptical about the future of the housing market, but despite September's stumbles, home builders maintain their market confidence.

Homebuilders' confidence in the market for newly constructed single-family homes rose in October, returning to a level not seen since the end of the housing boom in 2005.

After a reaching levels not seen since November 2005 in August, builder confidence for newly constructed single-family homes continued to climb in September with a one point increase to a level of 62.

The number of job openings in construction overall remained stable in July, though hiring in the home construction sector slowed that same month, according the latest figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the National Association of Home Builders.
