After a few rough years for the housing market -- some good signs show things may be looking up. After overbuilding across the country -- the housing crisis began and that wasn't good for anybody. Too many unsold homes without interested buyers -- too little value in homes for owners to sell. But that's changing. Home prices have dropped dramatically -- experts saying they probably won't drop much more. Which means -- for some -- it's a great time to take the plunge -- and get into a new home.

First time home buyers also get the added incentive of the first time home buy credit provided by the government. But it's not just a one sided victory for the industry. If you're looking to sell, but worry you may not get much return on your investment -- appraisers in the area say appraisals are leveling off. Hopefully soon they'll also be on the rise.
