Subject US housing outlook Significance US housing starts are growing at a rate of around 1.2 million private homes per year, double the pace during the worst of the global financial crisis but far below the rate of 2 million homes a year in 2004-05. House prices are still growing steadily though, passing the pre-crisis peak late last year and gaining around 5% since then. Impacts San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Dallas and Denver prices are over 20% higher than the pre-crisis peak, making them vulnerable to correction. New York, Washington DC, Chicago, Miami and Tampa are earlier in the cycle; prices remain at least 20% below the pre-crisis peak. The foreclosure rate is below 0.60% in every state but could turn around quickly if political instability or mortgage rates rise rapidly.

American Cities

Gentrification is one of the most controversial issues in American cities today. But it also remains one of the least understood. Few agree on how to define it or whether it is boon or curse for cities. Gentrification has changed over time and has a history dating back to the early 20th century. Historically, gentrification has had a smaller demographic impact on American cities than suburbanization or immigration. But since the late 1970s, gentrification has dramatically reshaped cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and Boston. Furthermore, districts such as the French Quarter in New Orleans, New York City’s Greenwich Village, and Georgetown in Washington DC have had an outsized influence on the political, cultural, and architectural history of cities. Gentrification thus must be examined alongside suburbanization as one of the major historical trends shaping the 20th-century American metropolis.
