“It’s been a rough go for home buyers since the bottom of the housing market and there are signs we’re entering a period of normalcy,” said Ralph McLaughlin, deputy chief economist at CoreLogic Inc. Mr. McLaughlin at CoreLogic said conditions could be the most favorable to home buyers since the housing market bottomed in 2012.

A successful spring could support a housing market that declined sharply in the latter half of 2018, despite stronger U.S. economic growth that boosted consumer and business confidence. Now, a rebounding housing market could help ease concerns that economic growth is slowing as job growth has cooled and the stock market has been volatile.
