The Future of Urban and Suburban Housing in the Wake of COVID-19
The pandemic has dramatically changed how most Americans view their homes. The need for more spaces within a home for work, schooling and exercise have driven many to evaluate where they live.
Suburban developments often offer more space for a lower price. With so many people acclimatized to working from home, the extra commute time is no longer a barrier to suburban homeownership. But what happens to urban home building if more people move?
This will be discussed in depth in an NAHB webinar on Thursday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. ET. The Future of Urban and Suburban Housing in the Wake of COVID-19 will answer questions about the demand for suburban versus urban housing.
The critical elements driving suburban, urban, for-sale, and rental demand across the U.S. will be explored by a stellar panel of experts:

Chief Economist, NAHB
John Affleck
