Quick Bit of Info... housing is up!!
Yea yea...Might be boring, but it's good.......
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Pending sales of existing homes surged to a 1-1/2 year high in November, offering more signs of a tentative recovery in the housing market.
The National Association of Realtors' Pending Home Sales Index, based on contracts signed in November, increased 7.3 percent to 100.1 -- the highest level since April 2010.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected pending sales to rise only 2 percent. Pending sales lead existing home sales by a month or two.
Recent data on home sales and construction have been fairly upbeat, suggesting an improvement in the sector, but in some area's prices continue to trend lower.
