The real estate market has been showing signs of life in recent weeks with increases reported in both new and existing home sales, as well as, pending home sales. Surveys and statistics show that governments efforts to lower interest rates, and incentives such as the $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers are strong factors in moving buyers off the fence.
