There is good news in the housing market!  The Commerce Department reported that new home sales increased 28 percent from March to April in the Midwest and West.  The median price of new homes increased to $235,700. Nationally, sales of existing homes also rose to nearly a two year high.  Here in Utah, there are definite signs of an improving housing market.  Many agents are reporting multiple offers on well-priced homes, and there are signs that prices may have bottomed out.
