• Rebound? (not a basketball reference)

    ·

    I’ve been reading a number of articles in the last few weeks saying the 2012 real estate market is ready for a rebound and thought it was worth a look. Although the LoCo market has not been as adversely affected as others, the numbers do suggest things are on the upswing. Compared to last December,…
