Real estate research firm Reis reported today (Thursday) that apartment rents are rising at the fastest rate since 2007.
Reis said vacancies hit a 10-year low as rental rates for the second quarter jumped 1%, the biggest increase since the financial crisis.
Compare this information with recent data on pending home sales, new home sales, and housing prices that has been more promising than months' past and it seems the U.S. housing market is on the mend.
That was the topic 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 suggests 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.
Check out this Q&A session with Fitz-Gerald about the latest developments in the U.S. housing market. You can see all of Keith's analysis in the video below.
