I read a lot of economic reports and construction forecasts, and some of them have less than optimistic lately, if you know what I mean. I spoke with a contractor at a convention last month who said he quit reading news about the construction and housing markets because it was too depressing.
Well, when a colleague passed along this article about a spike in new home sales last month, I was happy to see a chance to share some good news for a change.
