REAL ESTATE
Spring house hunt
We should get a good measure of how the spring real estate market is doing Tuesday morning. The US Commerce Department is scheduled to release figures on sales of new homes across the country, while in Massachusetts the Warren Group releases its monthly report for April 2016. If the past few months are any indication locally, the real estate market is expected to remain brisk, with both sales of homes and condos up, as well as prices, too.
