It is designed for land planners, transportation planners, planning commissioners, community and economic development professionals and all others who need market data to make informed land use decisions. At the completion of this course the student will be able to: * Describe why housing market studies are needed, including how they are used by developers and public officials * List the types of market information that should be requested
