Crossposted from Riots Thread:
The exodus from city living in the NE and MW has begun.
New home sales, predominately burb living was up 111% off the recent bottom in the NE and is nearing a 13 year pre mortgage bubble high.
The inner city living exodus has also begun in the MW, with new home sales, again, predominately in the burbs up 33% off the recent lows.
In total, overall new home sales have now rebounded completely across the country to being up 6.6% YOY.
Prediction: The New Downtown's springing up in cornfields and grazing pastures will explode in the coming years.
Sodsoppa, only with cows
source on "predominately burbs" please.
Condos in my hood are selling quick and at record prices. I'm looking at buying a new one downtown so I'm kind of pissed off about it except if I can find one I can sell mine like 100% over purchase price so 
Thank you for the anecdotal information, Phil. Also anecdotally, the JoCo real estate market is red hot as well. Now, I may not be plugged into all things KC, but using my vast historical understanding of the KC metro as my guide, I'm going to guess, that even despite the resurgence of core KC living, that the burbs are still outbuilding the core.
NYC Real Estate demand and prices are down, dramatically.
