Expect a Strong Spring Housing Market

Recent housing and economic reports predict we'll see solid spring home sales, according to Jonathan Smoke, realtor.com®'s chief economist. Here are some signs: 
On home sales: Existing-home sales from January 2015 to January 2016 have grown 11 percent.
On home prices: Prices are moving up and most of that has been attributed to the limited number of homes for-sale.
On home prices: Prices are moving up and most of that has been attributed to the limited number of homes for-sale.
On mortgage rates: Low mortgage rates are improving home buyer affordability, for now. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged under 3.7 percent in the latest week

The biggest negative trend impacting potential demand relates to the January and February declines in stock values, which have taken a toll on consumer confidence Also, the tight supply of homes for-sale could also limit sales in the spring season. http://disq.us/9abndo
