Expectations rising for housing market’s spring season

Admin — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 13:33:52 +0000

The spring home-selling season could be the strongest in years and may foreshadow which markets will lead the housing industry in recovery, economists say. While last year was dismal for existing home sales, this year is looking better.
