Nearly 3 millions US families have home in comparison with the first quarter of 2005.

Rental properties drop down from 10.6% to 10.3 percent in the third quarter of the year.

The economic impact on the young is even bigger. 39.2% own a home, dropping down from 43.3% at the beginning of 2005.

However, that means houses are still low, which is quite encouraging if you are looking for a home. So there is still light in the midst of mist then.
