Late bird finally catches the news
I just noticed that National Association of Home Builders had predicted coming slowdown on the housing market back in November. They comprise Housing Market Index, which showed that builders are getting bit cautious about new housing starts. Backlogs should carry industry well to this year. Analysts say that this could mean just a slight drop in total sales.
Seems like we have controlled cooling instead of dramatic crash. This bodes well for log home and log cabin owners as our choice of housing has certain image that will attract buyers, sellers and builders even on slower times. Market crash would hurt us too, but I am confident that log homes retain their value better than normal housing and mere slowdown still keeps us rather well-off.
