It's the sound of teenagers shuffling through dorms and down storied lanes on their first college orientation. It's the sound of young professionals readying themselves for their first big job, freshly shorn and tailored. It's the sound of a family preparing for the leap from the overcrowded apartment to the "starter" home that will see their first into high school. The end of summer sure can seem an awful lot like spring. Let's see if the housing market says the same.
