Housing has shown some signs of life and I’m growing convinced that construction in general has hit a bottom.   
With respect to single-family housing demand, we are seeing a clear stabilization as per the graph above.  However, I think it would be premature to declare a bottom for the housing market.  A Eurozone implosion or a China hard-landing would likely result in a U.S. recession and would result in decreased demand.  
Nonetheless, the news is increasingly positive.
