Spring—and trends—give real estate sector reason to be optimistic

Observation:  An Associated Press story suggests that real estate prices have bottomed-out in many areas, started to climb in others, and that a hint of optimism is in the air for the category.  Click here to see the story as it appeared in the Dallas Morning News website.

Implications:   Housing influences so many things… from home furnishings to home improvements and repairs, and much, much more.  Even just some stability in prices could lead to stronger performance in a lot of categories.  Really glad to see this!
