day of March, while the Federal Reserve recently decided that interest rates, which still stand at historic lows, will not increase for the remainder of this year. The stock market surged in the first quarter, and GDP rose by a higher than expected 2.6% in the fourth. Finally, the Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index for several months now has reported consistently elevated levels of consumer confidence, a critical benchmark in gauging the health of the real estate market. In March, consumer confidence stood at 124.1 (1985=100). We will continue to watch these factors closely, but when consumer confidence is this healthy, we typically ee demand in the real estate buyer pool follow suit.
