Housing Recovery Picking Up Pace

Good news - the housing market has hit a recovery high for a second month in a row.

A measurement of the housing market's recovery hit a post-housing-crash high for the second straight month in September.

Weighing three different housing indicators — construction starts, existing home sales and foreclosures — the sector is 43 percent of the way back to normal from rock-bottom levels, up from 42 percent in August and 24 percent in September 2011, according to Trulia’s Housing Barometer released Tuesday.

Read another way -- improvement in the housing market has nearly doubled since this time last year, from 24 to 43 percent toward full recovery.
