Bright Outlook for Housing Market Activity Revealed; Number of Unsold Homes Declining

From RIS Media, April 6, 2007--Overall housing market indicators improved substantially in many areas of the country during the first quarter of 2007 despite the concern over subprime mortgage lending problems and a rise in foreclosures, according to results from the latest HouseHunt "Current Market Conditions" national survey of member agents.
