Here's your latest round-up of interesting home-related news and links:

• The Calculated Risk blog looks at why they think Harvard's prediction for the decline in the remodeling market is too optimistic. They cite falling home prices, dropping sales at the big boxes and past remodeling downturns as the reasons.
• The homeowners who sued their real estate agent because they thought they paid too much for their house have lost their case.
• Next month, the NAHB Remodelers will be launching a year-long "Remodel Now" campaign, with press releases, articles, etc., remodelers can use to promote now as being a good time to remodel a home.
• Need a good market to focus on? Try the city. This article notes the rise in prices in Manhattan and this one that, while noting the bad results for the state of Illinois, points out the rising prices in the city of Chicago. These are just the latest of many I've seen that show prices staying strong in desirable urban areas.
