Homeownership falls to lowest rate in 15 years<\/p><\/div>\n

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Home ownership<\/strong> in the U.S. fell to its lowest rate in 15 years during the first quarter as more delinquent borrowers lost their homes to foreclosure, forcing many to rent.<\/p>\n

The percentage of Americans who own their homes dropped a full percentage point over the past 12 months to 65.4% during the first three months of 2012, according to the latest Census Bureau data. That’s the lowest rate since 1997 and down from the peak of 69.2% reached in 2004.<\/p>\n

“As foreclosures grew over the last six years, many homeowners became renters,” said Alex Villacorte, director of analytics for Clear Capital, a real estate valuation company.<\/p>\n

The rental vacancy rate dropped to 8.8% during the first quarter, down from 9.7% a year earlier and from 9.4% in the last quarter of 2011, according to Census.<\/p>\n

How much house can you afford?<\/div>\n

The growing demand has put pressure on the rental markets, said Villacorte. In many depressed housing markets, investors have been buying up distressed properties — foreclosures and short sales — fixing them up and renting them out.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

The median asking rent last quarter was $721, up 5.6% from 12 months ago, according to Census.<\/p>\n

Rents are highest in the Northeast, where the median is $932, followed by the West ($845), the South ($660) and the Midwest ($607).<\/p>\n

Home buying much cheaper than renting<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, median home prices continue to fall. During the first quarter 2012, the median asking sales price for vacant units was $133,700. That’s down from $143,700 during the first quarter of 2011, according to Census.<\/p>\n

Home ownership<\/em> has fallen for all age groups, races and regions since the housing boom, Census reported.<\/h3>\n

It is lowest in the West, where it has dropped one percentage point over the past 12 months to 59.9%. The Midwest has the highest home ownership<\/span> rate at 69.5%, down 0.9 point year-over-year; the South is second at 67.5% (down 0.9 point) and the Northeast is third at 62.5 (down 1.4 point).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
