A snapshot of the spring housing market

Spring is here, and that's prime buying season for anyone involved in the housing market -- whether it's the agents and builders that prepare the homes for sale or consumers who are looking for something new. Home sales typically spike during the spring, with 40 percent of annual home sales occurring between March and June. We asked a realtor, a builder, a buyer, a seller, what they think will happen this spring -- and most were optimistic. Could this be the year that the housing market finally recovers from the Great Recession? The next few months will tell.
