The Housing Outlook, 1980-1990

"The Housing Outlook" discusses the major factors affecting housing activity, housing demand, supply responses, and housing costs. This book: establishes benchmarks for evaluating national housing performance; suggests goals for public policy; and provides a core of information for both the public and private sectors on decisions affecting housing. The authors examine housing demand and changes in inventory over the decade, and isolates the specific effects of new construction, rehabilitation and conversion, and losses on the decrease of the housing supply.
