The Federal Government began interacting with the real estate market during the Great Depression when HUD was created. However, it was not until the 1960s and 1970s that the Federal Government began its modern involvement with rent (section 8) and initiatives for housing loans to lower income applicants.
The real estate of every city is affected by the U.S. housing bubble. Dallas hasn't been affected any more or less by this than other cities, so the whole country's in the same boat.
It depends. Typically an association -- a corporation -- formed in the interests of real estate ownership is not part of any governmental housing authority. Also typically, a 'housing authority' is a locally run -- by the city or county -- real estate operation aimed at offering low-cost housing to citizens who qualify to live in the residences. Your board can tell you whether or not your association has come under the jurisdiction of your local housing authority.
Looking for real estate listings has never been easier thanks to today's online listings. Websites such as www.housingauthority.com offer real listings of local properties that are available for rent. Apartments, condominiums and townhomes may be listed on such sites that provide direct access to real estate listings without the need to use a broker or agent. In fact, the housing authority site eliminates the middleman and offers direct information.
"Yes, the real estate for housing still in a slump, but it is getting better. There are people from other countries who are interested in buying houses."
Your local housing authority will have a list, as well as some real estate agents. Online, check out the HUD site. http://www.hud.gov/offices/pih/programs/hcv/about/fact_sheet.cfm

Real Estate and Sociology can be related to one another in a myriad of ways, from migration to the socioeconomic impact of housing availabity. The most interesting relationship in my opinion would be that of the housing market meltdown and the impact on the people in the community. The current economic situation has affected people physically, mentally, psychologically and has altered lifestyles and the way many people live their daily lives
