Home Market

Nationally, existing home sales rose 2.9% in February (month to month) and, according to today's CCI report, the number of people who intend to purchase homes in the next 6 months has increased. However the CCI number as a whole was dreadful. The CCI measures consumers' confidence in the economy. (Source: WSJ, CNBC)

As a whole, I take the above to indicate that, although consumer sentiment with respect to the state of the economy as a whole is not favorable, consumers are realizing that the prices in this market present too good of an opprtunity to pass up.
