Despite horrible weather nationally in the early part of the year, it
appears March was a good month for real estate in our slowly recovering
economy. Nationally, home sales in March went up 8.2 % over February and
were up 17.6 % over this time in 2009. Good signs. There was growth in
all areas except here in the Western Region (including Colorado), which
fell just over 5% from February but nonetheless, still accounted for a
15% increase over March of 2009. Nationally, unemployment shrank
slightly to 9.7 % and consumer confidence continues to inched upward
hopefully signaling a continued economic recovery.
