8 Stocks to Benefit from the Coming Uptrend in Housing

Housing has a decade of weakness. Take Colorado as an example. Their housing boom led the nation by 4 years, and Colorado did not enjoy the real estate boom from 2002-2006. Home prices were flat or declining in most areas, while the most "desirable", landlocked areas increased slightly. Home prices are falling somewhat, but are mainly stagnant. Home sales and prices will stagnate in Colorado for at least another decade, giving them a 20 year period of no real appreciation. Home prices should fall 20-30%, but Realtors, banks and lenders will do what they can to prop up the market. This will result in a stalemate between buyers and sellers, and stagnate the market further. Plenty of rentals here though, and they are cheap.
