Home Values Rise Slightly

The other day someone responded to the "how are you" question with-"any day above ground is a good one".  That response had more impact the first time I heard it but it popped into my mind as I looked at the single family home value index released by Case Shiller today.  Any month we're above the line is a good one.  Perhaps this will be a near flat year in value further substantiating our arrival at the 'bumpy bottom' of the market.
