Positive Trends at 2010 Builders Convention in Las Vegas

Builders are back from Convention with renewed spirits for the coming season. Over 50,000 converged on Las Vegas for the 2010 Internation Builders Show - IBS. Professional builders are survivors and we are primed and ready for the start of the recovery. NAHB's chief economist David Crowe stated that he thinks ths Recession is over--Yeah!! Apparently it may not be as strong of a recovery as we really want but it will be a recovery.

He and several economists mentioned some positive trends for 2010: low interest rates, stabilized home values and strong home affordability.

As a builder and remodeler for many years, we at Grand Bay Building and Remodeling have seen the cycle of the market many times. As optimists, we are encouraged by the signs and activity in our Traverse City, Michigan market. New home construction may be slowed but remodeling is continuing to happen. As home values stabilize -which is the economists' trend prediction, there really is no better time to remodel. Builders, suppliers and trades are ready to embrace your project with renewed energy.

Now is a perfect time to discuss your project and have it ready to roll with the mild weather. Call me: Nancy Lisabeth at Grand Bay Building and Remodeling 231-995- 9057
