It’ great to see an increase, even a slight one. Rental markets are off too. Some have moved in with family or friends. The unemployment rate above 10% is a serious hindered to these markets coming back. The Courier Journal reported that the unemployment numbers might appear lower than they are because so many have just given up on employment.

We have seen stability in many of the price points in my area of Metrowest Massachusetts. Prices certainly have not started to rise but the number of transactions has increased over last year. The upper end of the market is still very weak.

Glider, I admit that it’s really good news for the housing industry, but it’s bad news for the young to buy new house.

I think this is a good reminder that all real estate is local. Here, we never had the huge run up in prices that other parts of the country did so we just didn't have as much to come down. As a result, the # of homes sold is down but the sales price is pretty stable.

Augusta, Georgia, is not showing much improvement. For the first time in ten years, May sales where below April's. We're off 17% on 2008's numbers, which in turn where down 24% on 2007. The home buyer tax credits (both state and federal) will hopefully generate some life for our mid-summer market, but as of this writing, the numbers just point in a different direction
