What the Government Must do to Fix Housing

Recent data on pending home sales, new home sales, housing prices and rental rates have suggested the U.S. housing market is really on the mend - is that so?

That was the question posed to Money Morning's Chief Investment Strategist Keith Fitz-Gerald during a visit Thursday to Fox Business' "Varney & Co." program. Fitz-Gerald outlined what the recent housing data is telling us about the U.S. economy and the future of home prices and sales.

He also suggested what the U.S. government should do to encourage a stronger economic recovery and let people once again believe in the American Dream of home ownership.

You can see all of Keith's analysis on the U.S. housing market in the accompanying video.
