"House prices have pulled out of their free fall, but don't expect them to recover until we work through a huge property glut." ...according to Fortune and CNN, as well as eyes on the street. "The lights are on in the housing market. But at more and more places, nobody's home. "House prices have risen in recent months after a long plunge, according to the National Association of Realtors and the S&P Case-Shiller national index. Fewer Americans owe more than their property is worth, according to a report this week from Zillow.com. "But a full-fledged housing recovery will remain elusive until the market can absorb all the houses and apartments that were built during the housing boom. And on that front, progress has been slow. "About one in seven housing units was vacant in the third quarter, according to the Census Department. This year has registered the highest reading since the government began collecting such data in 1965."
