New U.S. home sales rose by the largest amount in more than eight years last month. The last time sales rose so dramatically was in December 2000. Is this a sign that the housing market is finally bouncing back from the worst downturn in decades?

Sales rose 11 percent in June to an adjusted annual rate of 384,000, from May's rate of 346,000.

There were 281,000 new homes for sale at the end of June, down more than 4 percent from May. At the current sales pace, that represents 8.8 months of supply - the lowest level since October 2007.

Here's the Yahoo article I read

Of course it is. Many of us even knew it would come now. I remember all the doom and gloom in the eighties about double digit interest rates and deflation.

Some of us knew than that it would all come back faster than anyone thought.

But the real hidden story here is healthcare: it is because that is not passing that market is optomistic ;-)

The rest is just a normal cycle, exagerated by technology and the media.
