Since July 2020, there has been a housing market explosion. Interest rates were at an all-time low and frankly, after months of sheltering in place many were just looking for a change in scenery. And while the market has cooled many are taking note of the scores of new neighbors in the Region. Lakeshore Public Radio's Dee Dotson and Tom Maloney speak with Dr. Micah Pollak, an Associate Professor of Economics at Indiana University Northwest about his new blog The Region Economist. One of his latest posts titled Northwest Indiana Population Migration Pattern explains where do they come from.
