\"Housing<\/a>

Housing Is on the Mend<\/p><\/div>\n

Some Americans are still jittery over the housing market, but here are eight positive signs that should quell some of their fears.<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Housing prices are on the rise<\/a>\u00a0across the country.<\/li>\n
  2. Foreclosures have slowed. Analysts suggest that as the supply of distressed homes slows, buyers will be forced into higher-price properties too.<\/li>\n
  3. Inventories of for-sale homes on the market are decreasing. In fact, inventories of for-sale homes have dropped 24 percent from a year ago.<\/li>\n
  4. Mortgage rates are at ultra record level lows, for those who can qualify<\/li>\n
  5. Housing<\/strong> starts rose 6.9 percent in June. Also, existing-home sales were up 4.5 percent higher in June compared to one year ago.<\/li>\n
  6. Home building stocks are on the rise.<\/li>\n
  7. For investors who are buying homes, rents are soaring, allowing them to cash in on their investments. Rental prices are at a 10-year high as median units rent for $710 a month.<\/li>\n
  8. Home affordability is at record highs for the median income family, due to falling home values and super low mortgage rates. In fact, a recent study<\/a>\u00a0found that it is cheaper to buy a home than rent in basically ever major city in the U.S. For those who buy, you can save the cost of renting by owning the home for five years or less.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    But while the signs point to a housing<\/em> market on the mend, some Americans still remain hesitant. Many Americans are still underwater on their mortgage, owing more on their home than it is currently worth. Also, the economy continues to weigh on the recovery, particularly a dampening employment outlook, which analysts see as tied to housing.<\/p>\n

    Still, The Wall Street Journal concludes in a recent article that if you take into account all the positive signs lately in the housing<\/span> market, \u201chousing presents an attractive long-term investment that should hold steady or even have upside surprise in the short term.\u201d<\/p>\n
