Home sales and new home construction, at least according to the Fed, are likely to stimulate the economy in 2010. Feds are predicting that housing sales will jump by 11 percent, even in the face of a slow recovery for the economy as a whole. With home sales surging for the second month in a row in October, climbing to the highest level in over two years as first-time buyers rushed to take advantage of what was expected to be an expiring tax credit. Home sales nationwide are now up nearly 36 percent from their bottom in January.
I find all this very exciting however I am not sure if real estate can turn that quickly on its own without another government handout. http://bit.ly/6qlNpJ
