“On the positive side for builders, Americans remain invested in the concept of homeownership, according to the survey, which was released this week. Seventy percent believe that buying a home is one of the safest investments they can make. Eighty percent say that homeownership is important to the economy. And they definitely see the value of lower prices, low interest rates, and the soon-to-expire federal housing tax credit: 64% think it is a good time to purchase a house, with 31% saying now is a “very good” time to buy.”

Now, they do go on to say that things are still tough, but I like this was quote. It’s good to hear some positive news on the topics of home building and home ownership.
