Abstract

The article discusses the U.S. housing market, hope for improved home sales, and the reality that it will take time for the housing industry to be restored. It discusses home buyers in Boise, Idaho who purchased a foreclosed home at a substantially discounted price. It notes signs that declining home prices have hit bottom, citing the Mortgage Bankers Association of America and the Standard & Poor's (S&P)/Case-Shiller home-price index.
