for first business news, i'm jackie keenan. super-sized homes appear to be here to stay. according to a survey by real estate company trulia, buyers list not buying a home with more space as their biggest regret! future home sales expectations are at a 5-year high. that's according to a report from the national association of homebuilders and wells fargo housing market index. the index takes a look at current sales and prospective buyer traffic. "housing seems to the bright spot in the economy right now, and even the fed will admit to that. if we're going to see things remain at current growth levels for the real estate market, that would certainly bode well for the economy in general. but i think the fed is holding pat right now, because it needs to see continued improvement, and more substantial improvement, in the jobs market." though the commerce department showed housing starts down in april, housing permits for future construction were up more than 14%. that means demand may have finally reached a point at which its convinced builders that buyers are back. thousands
