Most of America’s housing markets are doing worse in Trump’s first year than the average of all four years of Obama’s second term.

Among 2,320 US counties, 56% are doing slightly worse than when Obama was in office, according to a new Trulia report.

Trulia used five indicators to create an index that calculates how a county has performed during Trump’s first year versus Obama’s final four. The indicators include the number of building permits per 1,000 households, the valuation of those permits, house price appreciation, rent appreciation, and change in the residential vacancy rate.

This report is a follow-up of a survey of 2,000 Americans last December, which investigated how Republicans and Democrats viewed the 2017 housing market.

Self-identified Democrats felt that 2017 would be a worse year for the housing market than 2016. Many Republicans felt a renewed sense of optimism about the future of housing.
