Home Prices Rise in Half of U.S.
Prices for single-family homes climbed in half of U.S. cities in the first quarter as real estate markets stabilized.
The median sales price increased from a year ago in 74 of 146 metropolitan areas measured, the National Association of Realtors said in a report today. In the fourth quarter, only 29 areas had gains.
There are broad shortages of homes in much of the country. This is good news for sellers who wish to list now, or for those waiting for prices to improve.
If you're thinking about listing your home, now is a great time!

Numbers point to a solid winter rebound in the housing market
Government figures for the previous two months were revised and the numbers are much higher than previously figured. This points to a solid winter rebound in the housing market.
Helped by low prices, record low mortgage rates and an increase in hiring that has lowered the unemployment rate, the battered housing market has been showing signs of recovery so far this year.
It is now cheaper to buy a home than rent in much of the country.
If you are in the market to buy, rent or sell, contact Rogers Healy.

It's only Friday the 13th
If you are feeling more scared than usual today it might be because it's Friday the 13th buy why is this day so feared?
Some believe the superstition was derived from Friday the 13th being the date that King Phillip the IV of France ordered thousands of Knights Templar to be killed. Others think the dates significance simply came from the fact that Fridays were considered unlucky, and the number 12 was also unlucky.
