Continuing my theme this week of “Good News” I am pleased to announce that we may, just may, have the start of a bottom in the housing market. Now don’t get too excited just yet, we still have some pain to go through but look at some of the news this week: Mortgage rates at a 20 year low. House prices rise for the first time in 12 months.
