Dunno. There's been a bit of an uptick in new home sales in the US, but I think it has more to do with the new home tax credit thingie than anything. And that's about to expire. Homebuilder stocks shot up there for a bit but now they're tanking again. There are rumblings of commercial real estate about to follow residential down the drain, but I don't know if that will happen or not. I've stayed mostly out of REITs in any case.
