Nationally, confidence amongst home builders slipped this month after four months of advancement which drove the indicators to the highest benchmark in nine years, according to (NAHB). However, things are looking up for home builders in the Twin Cities; this weekend the Minneapolis Home Improvement and Design Expo is stirring up excitement.
"Prospective home buyers and homeowners in the Twin Cities are pleased to see more new construction homes available to purchase.

"The months' supply of all construction types is up to 6.3, perhaps tipping the Twin Cities residential housing market more in the buyer's favor."

"Historically low mortgage interest rates, steady job gains and significant pent up demand all point to continued growth of the housing market," said David Crowe, chief economist for the home builders.
