When FED is doing everything it can to screw up the country in order to save housing, who am I to be surprised about this green shoots?

Let's see. 3.5% down FHA load, 8k tax credit, very low mortgage rates. What else do you want?

Now, when these new homeowners with 3.5% FHA default, please sell more treasuries to China to bail them out.

Asset bubble is in the making as we speak!!!

Good. Maybe the banks will finally relent and start releasing all those foreclosures they are sitting on.

I know this is an extremely local observation, but looking in desirable towns in my area, I found very little inventory, which I equate to rising home prices in the future due to supply and demand. We just have to see if there is going to be a dip after the 8k tax credit is done, much like the Case for Clunkers sales programs.

I'm negotiating on a place right now, so I wish I shared your optimism about the direction of the market. I don't think the expiry of the buyer credit will help.

BTW, if you default on a FHA loan within 3 years and you collected the 8,000.00 tax credit, you have to pay it back.

10% over numbers that were DRASTICALLY low in 2008 already. haha. 2009 started off WORSE in NJ but has gained a LITTLE steam over 2008 numbers this summer so far. Still not near 2007, 2006, 2005 numbers...

But isn't that expected a LITTLE with a $8000 credit and artifical low interest rates?

Sadly I think they will extend the Credit and prolong this artifical pricing.
