how important housing is? (by Ras)

The total dollar amount of housing "value" is currently estimated at: $22 trillion

Based on an average property tax rate of 1.5%, this yields: $337 billion in state revenue per year.

The number of housing units sold per year has averaged: 9 million (but much less lately)

Which equals a total yearly revenue of:$2 trillion

Which fed the gigantic "Securitization Machine, yielding: tens of billions of dollars for Wall Stree.

Then,of course, all these rotting, termite-ridden McMansions need constantmaintenance and upkeep which I estimated at 2% annually, yielding anadditional: $45o billion for contractors, home improvement stores and associated groups.

And finally, annual commissions for real estate clerks was just announced at:$65 billion.
