Your friends and you have been through a lot together — but do you think you can buy a house with them?

Buying into the American Dream? Renting for life? For younger people, home ownership is less cut-and-dry than it was a generation ago.

A study suggests that homes certified as environment-friendly do sell at a premium. But in terms of choosing which home to buy, it's still location, location, location first.

Empty nesters with money to spend are fueling something of a boom in Florida's vacation home market.

Housing starts, as they're called, were up 2.6 percent last month, and compared with last April, home construction was up almost 30 percent.

Zillow, Trulia and other sites contain inaccuracies that skew the market, real estate agents say. Some are pulling their online listings.

According to recent Gallup data, Americans feel home prices are still at a pretty low level — but that also means many think it is a great time to buy.

Some would-be home buyers are unable to get loans for new places, but people who are getting back to work as the economy improves still want to move out of their parent's basement.
