Real Estate Market Turns Around in February!

Based on an article from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), nationwide housing trends turned around in February 2009, posting a 22.2% gain on housing starts. On a regional level, the Midwest posted an outstanding 58.5% gain!

Building permits, which tend to be an indicator of future building activity, rose 3% overall and 11% in single-family permits. “Builders did pull a larger volume of single-family permits in February, suggesting a glimmer of hope for the prime home buying season, which is near at hand,” said NAHB Chairman Joe Robson.

Information for this article was derived from www.NAHB.org.
