Why is concern toward regulation and risk among U.S. financial institutions declining?

A recent survey shows roughly three-quarters of households still believe now is a good time to buy a home, but there's a significant gap in confidence between homeowners and renters.

Almost half of single homebuyers aged 25 to 50 reported that it was "very important" to them to own a home, according to Century 21's Singles Homebuyer Survey released on August 20.

As home prices continue to rise—albeit slower than last year—many commentators insist that fears of a new bubble in the making are overblown. However, a new survey released Tuesday suggests lenders aren't buying it.

Among the 36 million people who moved between 2012 and 2013, a new study from the United States Census Bureau found that the most important reason to move was to find a new/better home or apartment. The study reported that 8 percent cited a desire for cheaper housing, while 5 percent said the most important reason for moving was to be closer to work or for an easier commute.
