Excerpt:

The housing market is in need of new homes for sale, according to a report released today by the National Association of Realtors. It said that an appropriate balance between a rise in prices and new home construction could keep the current housing recovery on track. Existing home sales, the biggest chunk of the housing market, rose to a five-year high in 2012, though existing home sales for the month of December surprised economists and dropped 1 percent.
