Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at Standard & Poor's, warned that a broader look at price levels over the past year shows no sign of sustained recovery.

Hi Michael yes it's a mixed bag.  However new home sales were up more then expected the last 2 months.  It's going to be an interesting year but I think the over all real estate market is improving.

You are right Michael....it's all about managing expectations.  Everyone expected new home sales to drop after the tax credit ended but it hasn't been as bad as expected.  Homes ARE selling.  The professionals are digging in to find solutions to today's challenges.
