diana olick, round it up for us. >> well, kelly, leonard, d.r.ovnanian, all turned to the up side after better-than-expected earnings from home depot and that nearly 16% jump in hotel housing starts, but the real play is when you break down the numbers. single family housing starts were up 8.3% in july from june and up 10% from a year ago. multifamily, which is mostly apartment rentals, up 33% month to month and up nearly 50% from a year ago, and that's why you're seeing apartment reits like avolon bay and equity residential hitting new all-time highs today, and they're significantly out-performing the s&p. now, construction is booming in most of the markets where the activity is largely in multifamily. there's a new report from trulia showing that new york, boston, houston, northern california, these units are directed at younger millennials and at those downsizing baby boomers. now, overall, of course, both single-family and multifamily starts were good. they were solid. but single-family is still running well below your historical norms and bu

and our diana olick has the surprising details. diana?well, kelly, you're right, house flipping was huge during the housing boom. it was gone during the housing crash. then it came back again about a year and a half ago, as prices started to jump up. now the price gains are easing, so house flippers are focusing on this, the million-dollar flip. this house was a total gut job. it was basically a disaster area, but it was in the right d.c. neighborhood, where demand is high and home prices are still rising fast. so, real estate agent crystal getz and her contractor husband, eric, paid $535,000 and then put about $250,000 into it after that. a high-stakes risk that paid off. >> it's like any business, really. do you go after, you know, the small, individual clients, where you have to do 100 accounts, right? or do you go after, you know, as i used to say in the business world, the white whale, right, where you're getting five or six clients, but your profit margin is higher? >> now, house flipping, which is buying and selling within one year

our diana magnay joins us from ukraine. barbara starr with us from the pentagon. diana, i'll start with you. 1,000 troops amassing. that sounds like an invasion on our end. what are you learning there? >> well, it's difficult to see this invasion as such. we've been driving down this road directly towards the russian border behind me and this checkpoint that you can make out in the distance really is the last ukrainian presence, the land beyond that, and we drove some 20 kilometers is really there for the taking. we know that the town which is about 30 k in that direction has been taken by a mixture of pro-russian rebels and russian forces. the ukrainian national security council tells us they have pushed these ukrainian units out of the town. down there we spoke to the battalion that have been pushed out. there's been a lot of talk that the russians are trying to push west towards this major coastal town of mariupol. no evidence at all of that and there is a major up crane yan -- ukrainian road block. 1,000 troops which nato says are on this side of the border al

parents of 19 year old diana showman are looking at images of her daughter who struggled throughout her life with mental health issues, and the young woman who called 911 who said she was armed with an uzi and was going to kill her family. she ignored warnings by officers and was shot and killed. trained officers should take into consideration her mental problems and not resort to violence. >> she would fants size something. i think that's what probably occurred. >> she was a good girl. she had challenges. we loved her. i want the police to be more careful. i want them to be more compassionate. >> reporter: police say they are sympathetic and point out many officers, including the one who shot diana have training in dealing with the mentally ill, but in this case, officers had seconds to respond to diana's actions. >> the events unfolded very quickly, very rapidly, and the officer had to react to a threat. >> reporter: the woman's parents are upset that after the shooting they were taken away, isolated and interviewed for hours. >> i finally got angry and opened the door and said what y

diana olick is live from d.c. with the story. hey, diana. >> reporter: it was a disappointing number, but these census figures are squishy because there's such a wide margin of error on this. take a look. the street was looking for 425,000 annualized sales from june's really bad 406k. but instead it got 412,000, but june was revised way up to 422,000. so it ends up being a 2% drop month to month, but we're up over 1% in july from a year ago. i hope you can follow all that. now, there are some very big regional differences. mainly that only the south saw a gain month to month. the northeast saw a huge drop in new home sales from june to july. the west also a big drop. every region but the south is also down in sales from a year ago. now, the median price of a newly built home is factoring into this. it's up 3% year over year to 269,800, just to give you an idea of the premium on new, that's 21% higher than the existing home price in july. so the new home builders have admitted they're focusing on the higher-end products because th

diana olick has that story. >> millennials, they're just not buying homes the way previous generations did at their age. >> currently i'm not sure how long i'll stay in the city, but also, i need to save up money to at least have a deposit. >> the average age of a first time home buyer is now expected to jump to over 34 according to zillow. it may seem like a small jump, that would keep homeownership lower, keep rents higher and could impact sales of home goods. because the time for owning and renovating would be shorter. >> there's been a great delay for younger home buyers. they're doing a lot of things later in life. buying a home later, getting married later, having children later. higher debt burdens, higher unemployment and higher wage growth. >> and higher home prices. each $1,000 increase in the newly built home forces 206,000 potential buyers out of the market. that's according to a new survey by the builder. >> the cost of living has gone up substantially, and i think buying a house will pose an obstacle for many people in my generation. >> mortgage rates may be low. bankrate

diana olick explains. >> reporter: if your home sits by the ocean, a top a fire prone canyon or even in a not so nice neighborhood, you probably know you're paying more for homeowners insurance but something closer to home may be driving your monthly payments higher, your personal credit score. >> insurance companies use credit scores because they found a statistical relationship between a consumer's credit score and the amount of claims and the severity of claims they file. >> reporter: homeowners with poor credit pay 91% more for homeowners insurance than people with excellent credit. homeowners with medium credit pay 29% more. one of the biggest insurers state farm do factor fico scores into the rate. there is an undeniable correlation between credit information and insurance risk. she could not say how much in dollar terms, though, a poor credit scores could raise insurance. >> consumers need to understand not every insurance company is going to factor credit the same way. so while one insurer may factor it very heavily, another may not. >> reporter: the rate changes vary state t
