While the median cost of a home in New York is $581,400, Los Angeles has a median home cost of $583,600. This implies that it is a bit cheaper to acquire a home in NY as compared to LA.

In NY, homes owned amount to 29.02% of total number of homes whereas in LA, 34.60% of the total number of homes are owned.

George said " the Houston metropolitan area grows by about 400 people a day and builds 40,000 housing units a year, making it nation's largest new housing market, with 7 percent of residential construction".

Two economic factors affect supply in a stable housing market, price of related goods or similar houses, and the price of the good, best represented by style or size in the case of the housing market. The affluence of a community typically determines how much homes sell for in those communities, and therefore communities where a lot of people want to live become areas where average home prices are high. (Kumar, 1) There is little space in these affluent communities, and therefore little supply. A good example is New York City, where no homes are available, only apartment buildings, and very few apartments are actively exchanged each year.

Additionally, he employs hedonic price analysis to describe the relationship between prices and neighborhood composition under current housing market conditions, which is a concept that I will be exploring in my paper. A defect in this source is that in some of the studies that Harris refers to, some studies only analyze the racial factors that affect a neighborhood and then the other ones that do consider the nonracial factors fail to come to a proper conclusion about what causes the lower housing prices in areas with higher Black populations. There is no study given that considers both racial and nonracial factors and has appropriate conclusion, which can affect the viability of many of the studies used in the source. However, a benefit of this source is that it addresses my three variables that I will be exploring – median gross rent, employment rates, and occupancy status of housing

In this report, the question “How much of the changes in the median selling price of homes in a city can be explained by the changes in median income of that city?” is answered. Home ownership is an important aspect of one’s life stages, and home prices are determined by demand and supply. The demand curve is affected by the one’s income, such that as one’s income increases, one is more willing to pay a higher price for the same quantity of goods (Baye & Prince, 2014). However, there are many other factors that might affect the demand curve, e.g. no. of children, in the household, the perceived quality of education in the school district, or the number of job positions (filled or open) around the city. According to Burda

A difficult characteristic to understand about the housing market is how a price is given for a particular house. That price will be designated to that particular house alone. All houses have various pricing, so I can’t always assume that one will cost more or less than any other. The pricing for houses vary based on their characteristics. Each characteristic must be analyzed to determine its contribution or detraction toward the price. I have taken some of these characteristics and modeled the relationship between them and the price of real estate for a specific area.
