No Major Moves in the Woodbury Real Estate Market This Week

No major moves in the Woodbury Real Estate market to report this week.

Showings remained strong with regard to seasonality. We ended the week with about 2 showings per home this week. More good news continues to pour in with regard to the real estate market.

The Wall Street Journal reports 2012 as being the first year since 2005 the housing market has made a posative contribution to GDP.

Cooper Howes, economist, Barclays: “While upcoming data on housing starts and home sales will provide a better indication of whether this surge in optimism is entirely justified, the housing market has certainly improved this year. 2012 is expected to be the first year since 2005 in which residential investment will provide a positive contribution to GDP growth, and we look for increases in home prices of around 3% by the end of the year.”
