As home prices continue to increase month after month does that mean real estate is getting stronger? Most likely it just means it is starting to stabilize a little as sales are still slow in most markets.

Home prices have increased over the last five months, according to an industry report released Tuesday by S&P/Case-Shiller home price index, prices increased by 0.6 percent in July compared with June. On a year-over-year basis, prices increased 3.2% compared with July 2009. http://www.ncrealtors.org/news_display.cfm?nid=1425
