Where did the summer go?  Hopefully yours was more relaxing than mine.  Most of my time was spent on the road in congested airports and packed planes as I visited many, many great Coldwell Banker companies.  I can attest that if you looked only at airport useage our economy must be well on its way to improving.

I know many of those travelers brought along books that were listed on those summer “must” reads lists.  And since we have one more weekend to “unofficially” enjoy summer, I wanted to add another “must” read for those interested in home ownership.  It’s a recent New York Times op-ed by Karl Case, a professor emeritus of  economics at Wellesley and co-creator of Standard & Poor’s Case-Shiller housing index.

He explains in simple-to-understand language what happened in housing and why the American Dream of Homeownership is not dead and is poised for nice, steady long-term growth.

Enjoy the article as you sit back and hopefully relax this weekend.  Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
