First of all, just a disclaimer: I love our country and look forward to celebrating her greatness this weekend by seeing stuff explode over Lavell Edwards Staduim while listening to a Pilipino Steve Perry sound-a-like instruct me to “Don’t Stop Believing”.

In housing news, single family Housing Starts are up 6.7% year-to-date and single family permits are up 7.5% year-to-date; New Home Sales are up a staggering 24%! Relatively fewer custom homes are being built across the country, giving way to more spec and track built homes. First-time buyers accounted for 32% of existing home sales in May, their highest level in 32 months.
