REAL Trends Housing Market Report:
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Home sales rose 17.1 percent across the nation in December 2009 compared to the same month in 2008, according to the REAL Trends House Market Report.

More surprising is that the average price of homes sold rose .6 percent – the first gain in over four years.
