Where the Market is now and where it Was

The following information has been taken from the National Association of Realtors and, I think does try to put our current housing situation in perspective:
Economic and Market Facts
•Informed consumers make smarter decisions.
•The economy is soft and consumer confidence remains low.
•Housing affordability is at a generational high.
•Home values in many markets have returned to historically justifiable levels.
•Most economists expect home values to rise in upcoming years, though not at a fast pace.
•Bad loans are nearly always made in good times. But recently originated loans are performing very well.
•Patient homeowners over the long-term do much better than renters in attaining wealth.
