Those are rates that haven&#8217;t been since for a while now &#8212; since before the housing crash, in fact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two headline composites posted their highest year-over-year increases since summer 2006,\u201d David M. Blitzer, chairman of the Index Committee at S&amp;P Dow Jones Indices, said in a statement. \u201cThis marks the highest increase since the housing bubble burst.&#8221;<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In January, nine cities &#8212; Atlanta, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco and Tampa &#8212; posted positive monthly returns as well as annual increase. So did and both composites, month over month. Dallas was the only MSA where the level monthly remained flat, but it has been relatively unscathed by the aftermath of the housing crash, and didn&#8217;t have as far to climb back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Home Sales See Downtick in February<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>New home starts were at an annualized rate of 411,000 units in February, according to the Census Bureau on Tuesday. That&#8217;s down from the January, when the total was 431,000 units.<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Though the total was down for the month, most estimates for 2013 are still healthier than in recent years. NAHB, for instance, thinks that 447,000 units will be built (single- and multi-family both), while Fannie Mae is a bit more optimistic, at 452,000 units, and Moody&#8217;s Analytics puts the number at 500,000 units.<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The bureau also reported that the estimated supply of new houses for sale at the end of February was 152,000. That&#8217;s a supply of 4.4 months at the current sales rate. The bureau&#8217;s definition of for sales is when a permit to build has been issue in permit-issuing places or work has begun on the footings or foundation in nonpermit areas, but a sales contract hasn&#8217;t been inked.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Durable Goods Sold in February<span style=\"font-size: 13px;line-height: 19px\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Census Bureau also reported that new orders for durable goods were up 5.7 percent in February compared with January. Orders have been up on a month-over-month basis for five out of the last six months, dropping only in January. Transportation equipment spurred most of the increase, rising more than 20 percent for the month.<\/p>\n<p>Wall Street had another up day on Tuesday &#8212; there&#8217;s been a fair run of those lately &#8212; with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 111.9 points, or 0.77 percent. The S&amp;P 500 was up 0.78 percent, while the Nasdaq advanced 0.53 percent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Average home prices were up in the 12 months ending in January 2013.
