The Tax Cat Explains Cryptocurrency The Housing Hour
Housing starts rise in March to levels that have not been seen since June 2008. According to the Commerce Department new construction starts for homes rose 7% last month to an annual amount of over 1 million units.
This is fabulous news for the recovering housing market. Low interest rates and a high demand for homes have pushed the new and existing home markets to some of the highest levels in years.
Bidding Wars are pushing home values higher too. According to S&P Case-Shiller home prices rose 7.3% in 2012. US Economic growth has been stimulated by the increasing housing activity. Realtors are trying to add more inventories to their MLS. Builders are scrambling to build more units, but they are finding it hard to find construction workers in some areas.

It’s true the sudden change in our economic environment has created some issues in the home buying and selling markets; however, it will eventually seek some form of normalcy as things stabilize and balance.
