So, here's the scoop:
The “Recent Mover’s Club” isn't exactly bursting at the seams. Only around 1,058,000 folks made a move in the last 90 days. This dip can be chalked up to a bit of a summer slump and a slow housing market.
There's also noticeable change happening in the types of people moving.Normally, about 72% of adults own their homes and 27% rent, but, in the past 90 days things got interesting. Only 62% of movers were homeowners, and the remaining 37% were renters. It looks like the gap between owners and renters making a move is getting slimmer.
To sum it up, not as many folks are changing their address now, as compared to the past two years - and we are seeing more renters joining the ranks of home movers compared to homeowners."
