New data on Americans’ rising net worth is good news for the economy. Figures from the National Association of Realtors® show household net worth has completely bounced back from the recession and reached a new peak of over $70 trillion in the first quarter of 2013. Midtown Montgomery stats improved too. During the recession, household and non-profit net worth dropped by more than $15 trillion.

So what is fueling the increase? NAR research points to recovering home and stock prices and a reduction in debt as the driving forces. Real estate accounts for $18 trillion of the $83 trillion in household assets, and owner’s equity in household real estate is $9 trillion of the $70 trillion in net worth.
