Abstrakt: The article discusses changes in residential zone-change standards and increased residential permit activity, including the renovation of the Wharton Building into residential units with tax incentives. It also mentions the National Association of Realtors' forecast of rising home sales and stable mortgage rates, as well as the impact of job gains on the housing market and the importance of homeownership for wealth accumulation.

Despite this, some distressed communities are showing ongoing economic strength, with Opportunity Zones outperforming the nation in median price growth. [Extracted from the article]
