Today in Pinehurst, North Carolina, and the rest of the United States observes American Flag Day, a tribute to our flag, the ideals it stands for and the sacrifices made to preserve them.

- 03/01/10 02:12 PM
We recently read that for the first time since the housing crisis began, the number of homeowners falling behind on payments has decreased. This drop does not mean the end of the problems are at hand, just that it seems to be leveling off. There are still millions in foreclosure now and it will take some time for the market to absorb the foreclosed homes. The article went on to say that economists see at least another 6 months of pressure on home values in some parts of the country and in high-foreclosure areas such as Southern California, Phoenix, Las Vegas … (8 comments)

Forth Quarter Home prices rose in more than a third of U.S. metropolitan areas according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), pointing to a "broad stabilization" in property values. Median price for single-family home sales was up from a year earlier in 67 of the 151 U.S. metropolitan areas included in the trade group's quarterly survey.
