What else do buyers need?

Its a great time to buy.  Housing prices are low, interest rates are incredible low.

Mortgage Applications

They are down of course, alot of it has to do with consumer confidence.  Until the consumer confidence rating goes up, nobody is feeling warm and cozy. 

Is anyone doing anything about the current affairs?  Or are we just going to sit back and hope something positive happens?

This is obviously not good news for our industry, but the key is the last sentence.  New homes create at least 3 jobs and $90k in taxes.  Now that is shovel ready job.  I am hoping all of our friends in DC read this article.
