The annual pace of construction spending continued its 10-month slowdown in January, falling 1.2 percent from a year ago to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.18 trillion, according to a recent report from the U.S. Census Bureau. Residential construction spending declined 12.7 percent compared with one year earlier, standing at a rate of $585 billion, while the value of nonresidential construction activity rose 13.5 percent to a rate of $595.3 billion, according to the report.[tags]housing market,real estate market,housing bubble[/tags] Little Italy San Diego

    I believe a lot of people who purchased with subprime loans and were not really qualified have to accept the inevitable consequences and perhaps build up their savings and credit while renting until the next purchase opportunity.
