Has the Residential Housing Market Turned?
• Perhaps – Some upward trend in overall median prices combined
with low inventories– Storm Clouds
• FED recently stopped supporting the secondary mortgage market – potential for increasing interest rates.
• Expiration of Fed Income Tax Credit – potentially offset by state credit as long as it lasts.
• Mortgage meltdown continues to depress prices.
– Sunny Skies• Improving overall economy +++
