The United States economy grew at its fastest pace in
more than six years at the end of 2009, even as businesses resisted hiring and
continued to do more with less. In addition, the growth rate was the fastest
since the third quarter of 2003, when the economy grew at a rate of 6.9
percent.
This is great news! So tired of hearing all the negative news - so we finally had something "good" to share. Although the housing market for December 2009 was down 7.6% over last year. I feel this is due to the "extension" for the 1st time homebuyers $8,000 credit being extended through the Spring of 2010. If Washington is smart (keep your opinions to yourself ha!) they will fix the housing market before anything else - this is what they should have been doing for the past several years.
Still a great time to purchase a home or land here in the Great Smoky Mountains - contact us today to find our more about our real estate market.
