As the chart above shows, new applications for mortgages have increased about 14% in the past year. This is an encouraging sign that suggests new buyers are coming into the market as banks liquidate their housing inventories. Another encouraging (though still very preliminary) sign is the rise in housing prices since January, according to the folks at Radar Logic (chart below).
The rise in the Radar logic is important in that there are no tax incentives to rendered the data

ReplyDeletethe NAHB in not of the same advice...;-)
ReplyDeleteNAHB...is new homes ( more inventory which we don't need)...
ReplyDeleteRadar Logic is existing homes which
we need to sell
Yes, but in any case is an important professional opinion directly from real estate world...
ReplyDeleteNew Home are the true "plus" for the economy
existing home are above all the same money that change hand or little more...
Like you say, the real problem is the big inventory, heritage of the Big Real Estate Bubble made in USA
But it is not the only problem of US real estate: you have many many many other problems
The Real Estate is the mirror of the structural problems those affects the US Economy&Finance
Problems those nobody in charge had the interest to resolve at the roots...
The Radar Logic data is more than 60 days old. It tells us nothing about the current state of the real estate market.
