I thought I would bring a ray of sunshine to the current news headlines to show there are signs the housing market is improving...albeit slowly. Last weeks report shows housing starts for March rose to an annual rate of 626,000 which was higher than estimates and the highest its been since November 2008. Yeah!! The housing starts figure is also up 20% from this time last year which is a good sign we may have seen the worst of it already. Another sign builders are feeling better was Building permits were up 7.5%.

Sure there are still some troubles with the employment figures, but good news is good news...lets leave it at this for now.

Have a great day!
