Livingston County ranked No. 1 of Michigan's 83 counties for the biggest increase in housing units in the last five years, census data released Monday show.
The county saw a 20% jump between 2000 and 2005, from 59,000 units to a little more than 70,000. Wayne County ranked last with 2% growth. Macomb ranked 17th with 8% growth, and Oakland County was 42nd with 5% growth
I'm not sure how much booming there will continue to be. I've seen a LOT of For Sale Signs out here.

RKG - I wish I didn't agree with you here, but with this state struggling, and SE Michigan in particular, It's no wonder that our county is hit as well.
Keith and Big Kahuna - the SBT is a good first step, but it's not a miracle cure. Property taxes are a bigger problem, as is the red tape around this state.
I think the local tax increases around here don't help matters much either. (I voted no on everything)
