Survey Says!
Last week's CyberPoll focused on the June increase seen in new home sales. The majority of the respondents (62.2%) are encouraged by the increase, though some appear to be at least somewhat skeptical. Slightly over half of the respondents (52.3%) view the June figure as a false positive. One reader commented, "Things are moving forward-if everyone stopped listening to the 'doom & gloom' news then things would pick up." Another said,
"Values continue to decline. Until the inventory is depleted in foreclosures, short sales, etc., prices will not recover. [They] may stabilize slightly, but not recover. Comparable sales numbers mean a poor outlook for the people who paid on time and did not get in over their head." Follow this link
