NAHB Housing Market

Forex News: NAHB Housing Market index comes in at 20

Posted by Greg Michalowski on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 12:04pm in

This is as expected.  Unchanged from last month (the index has been at 20 for 3 straight months).  Levels below 50 indicate conditions are poor or negative. 

The news is only good in that the number is expected.  The housing market continues to suffer from a glut of homes for sale and increasing foreclosures which are keeping buyers at bay.  With the spring sale season starting, the prospects are still not good for a rebound soon.  Prices will still need to come down.
