As GlobeSt.com reported in August, the housing recovery continues pretty much across all markets, although the rate of recovery was beginning to vary dramatically market by market at that time, Rick Sharga, EVP of Auction.com, told GlobeSt.com. Sharga's reaction to the then recently released S&P/Cash-Shiller Home Price Indices is that there are no surprises in the findings.
