    Any concern that housing data trends are being presented as “the best since -insert date here-” and that date is, generally, 6-24 months before the housing bubble burst? Or that we are 6 years clear from the last recession and have never achieved “escape velocity”, from a GDP growth standpoint? What about the continuing stream of downward revisions on economic data? What about the effect of increasing interest rates on the housing market? Or the stock market? Or consumer confidence? Great chart porn, though…

      Except housing starts keep on getting upwardly revised and the permits are blowing up. GDP may have already broken escape velocity, revisions are cruel.

      From a RE perspective, existing home sales have been solid for months. From the production side of it, emergence from recession is becoming clear.
