Some economists do not believe that housing has established enough upward
momentum to warrant a declaration of recovery, yet many market analysts are
observing the rule of The Tortoise and the Hare. Fast, energetic upward spikes in
sales may be exciting, but slow and steady wins the race. This phase of
stabilization will likely show itself in year-over-year comparisons that cause yawns,
but this kind of race is ultimately good for the market as a whole.
