The collapse of the housing industry in America is one of the most disturbing economic storylines in recent American history. Every time I so much as glance at a chart depicting the drop from ’07 to ’09, I wince. Don’t look now, I’m wincing.
But one thing America has come to understand over the years is that time heals. Ultimately, we may need more time, but the chart of the Housing Index below underscores significant signs of life in the housing sector. On a near-term basis though, the index is overbought and nearing resistance. Furthermore, the sector may need some time to consolidate gains and pull in a bit.
