[i]Springfield said nearly two-thirds of sales in the first quarter were at its central belt developments[/i]
[quote]One of Scotland's largest family-run housebuilders has suggested confidence is returning to the housing market, after posting strong first-quarter results.
Moray-based Springfield Properties said sales rose by nearly 20% compared with the same period last year.
The firm secured more than 100 private reservations between January and March across its 22 developments in Scotland,
More than 65% of sales were from the builder's central belt developments.
Springfield said its strongest selling site of 2012, at Braehead in Glasgow, continued to sell well in the first three months of the year.[/quote]

It's been a few years. From what I have read elsewhere and posted here, it seems like things are recovering.
I think you should be more descriptive with your title, honest opinion.
Too bad, the recession pretty much killed any chance of regular people taking advantage of more realistic housing prices. Naturally, the wealthy bought up all the depressed houses, and will now make shitloads of money in the next few years when the prices go back up. Probably by selling houses to subprime borrowers.

Good thing America's housing market is recovering as well.

and so the cycle continues. wealth goes up, and the scraps fall back to the rest of us.
I also thought it's about US [URL="https://personalmoneynetwork.com/installment-loans/"]housing market[/URL]. Anyway, according to a new report, house prices rose in every main United States city in May. That is the fourth month in a row to show boosts. The numbers may hint at welcome growth in the real estate industry, even as the job industry remains flat line.

still costs 500k-1 million for a decent house in Surrey which is the equivalent of three bedrooms. Its weird being Working Class in this county, I'm out numbered by rich people.
