Notable news this week included a report on indebted Millennials’ ability to buy homes as well as local filming locations for “Captain America: Civil War.” Stay informed about the latest in real estate news with our weekly roundup:

 

Student loan debt surprise – New reports from the Brookings Institute and RISMedia have found that student loan debt does not affect home ownership among younger demographics. The reports found that those without a college degree were more likely to own a home at an earlier age because they had settled down earlier. College-educated people, on the other hand, delayed buying a home due to being in college, and were more likely to catch up by age 27, and were also more likely to own a home than those without a college degree. To learn more about the studies, visit Realtor Magazine’s website.

 

Atlanta makes a cameo appearance – You’ll recognize a few locations in “Captain America: Civil War” – multiple scenes were filmed here, including at the Peachtree Christian Church. Be sure to check out the other filming locations before seeing the movie on Curbed Atlanta’s website.

 

Bumping up the price for consumers – A new study by the National Association of Home Builders found that regulations imposed by the government account for 24.3 percent of the final price of new single-family homes built for sale. NAHB gives a complete run-down of the study’s findings here.
