Positive News Items Regarding Real Estate

I know that everyone has heard all of the negative media coverage about real estate and foreclosures, etc, over the past year or two, now I want to throw down a challenge, to try and find recent positive news (please give credit when you know the source) regarding real estate in the media.

Here are a few that I found:

Positive permits and housing starts data was followed by a rare up-tick for new home sales in April. While April was the first time in over a year that single-family building permits posted a monthly gain, it was also the first time since October 2007 that new home sales posted an increase.....Broker Agent News, LLC. PO BOX 3107 Cheyenne, WY 82003

On homefeedback.com or showings.com one of them sent out a report the other day where showings for April 2008 were up 25% over showings in April 2007 !!

do you know of any good positive news that I can pass on? post as a comment or e-mail it to me, thanks, David Wertan of Re/Max Advanced Realty in Charleston, SC
