Just like last week’s LA Times front page article, we’re starting to see lots of media attention given to stabilization and rising prices throughout the country. Today’s Wall Street Journal had an article entitled “A Toe in the Water”, which was more about long term investing, and a sub heading called “The Case for Real Estate”. Also, today’s Case-Shiller report indicated that for the first time in 3 years prices rose about 3% over the previous quarter, another strengthening sign things are turning around. Next week we’ll be checking our local statistics to see what August looked like.
