The real estate agents are calling it a buyer’s market. The newspapers say prices are flattening out and homes are taking longer to sell, leaving buyers with many more options. Sounds good to me.

Everything old is new again, but this spring the ’50s-inspired designs are livelier, brighter, and more flirtatious than ever before.
