Millennials Prefer Homes Over Marriage First comes the house and then maybe marriage or children, according to surveyed millennials detailed in Bank of America’s 2018 Homebuyer Insights Report, which was culled from 2,000 consumer responses. The new survey finds that 23- to 40-year-olds value homeownership above nearly everything else: 72 percent call it a “top priority” compared to 50 percent who say getting married or 44 percent who say having children are their top priorities. “Being able to retire,” at 80 percent, was the only goal to t...
Any thoughts of a ‘trap’ game on the road were quickly dispelled.

Kansas City Chiefs (6-1) - If the Chiefs can improve enough on defense, they could be the team to beat in the AFC. Getting Eric Berry healthy would help and a trade for defensive help would not be a...
A combination of high home prices and eroding affordability is expected to cut into housing demand and contribute to a weaker housing market in 2019, and 2018 home sales will end this year by registering lower for the first time in four years, according to a housing and economic forecast released last week by the California Association of Realtors. CAR’s “2019 California Housing Market Forecast” sees a modest decline in existing single-family home sales of 3.3 percent next year, to 396,800 units, down from the projected 2018 statewide sales...
