Is our housing market getting better?

Breaking news this week in the national media!!  They tell us that Home Sales are UP!!  Finally what we are all waiting to hear!  So does that mean us??   Well, in Coppell, Texas there were 21 homes sold in January 2008 and sales were up 33% in February 2008 with a total of 33 homes sold -- so yes, that does mean us!  Sales are beginning to climb which is typical for the spring real estate market.  So are you now asking about this year versus last year?  Well for the same two months in 2007, there were 36 homes sold in both January and February of that year.  So, in reality we are not that far off of the 2007 market -- our outlook is not so bad.  And it gets even better -- the Texas Workforce Commission is reporting that 13,500 jobs were added in Texas dropping our unemployment rate to 4.1 percent.  Sounds like things could be blooming for Spring!!
