Harris Poll shows slight uptick in those who plan to buy houses

While nobody should hold their breath here, the most recent Harris Poll on consumer spending plans found that things haven't changed much since May -- with a few notable exceptions.

Those who expect to buy a new house or condo are up from a puny 7% to a measly 10%. Those who expect to buy a boat or RV have doubled from 3% to 6% and now a whooping 10% expect to start a new business compared to 6% last May.
