What
was once expected to be a relatively mild housing slump following
three years of record new home construction and sales has
given way to a significant downturn. To help members navigate
the uncharted waters of this slowdown, NAHB has compiled
a comprehensive “Back to Basics” online toolkit
- the best of the basics, the tried and true and the truly
new. To access the “Back to Basics” toolkit,
you must be an NAHB member and have a login to www.nahb.org.
