Not too long ago, there were a number of financial experts that had a pretty bleak outlook on the housing market overall.  Fortunately, it appears that these experts may have had a bleaker outlook than necessary as there are strong indications that the housing market has begun to rebound.  As a result, many people are now beginning to wonder how will the housing market rebound affect the economy?
A little over a year ago, the housing market looked pretty bleak.  In fact, there were a number of financial experts that believed that no one alive today would actually see a housing market rebound within their lifetime.  Fortunately, it now appears that these experts were wrong as the housing market has improved steadily every month for the past year.  As a result, there is a strong indication that the housing market and the economy as a whole are beginning to improve, and many people are beginning to ask what are the implications of the housing market rebound for the economy as a whole?
Well, one of the effects that the housing market rebound is already having on the economy as a whole is that it is increasing the value of the average person’s home.  The value of the average home is beginning to rise as a result of the housing market rebound because the number of homes that are on the market is decreasing as more and more people begin to buy homes.  In other words, the demand for housing is continuing to increase, but the supply is actually decreasing.  This means that the value of the average home will continue to increase because there is a greater demand and a lower supply than there used to be.  In fact, the number of homes on the market has decreased by nearly 20% in the last year, and the price of the average home has jumped over 10% as a result.
