Ooops #2. Home Sales Plunge Most In 3 Years, Drop 8th Months In A Row By Tyler Durden Created 03/27/2014 - 10:09 Must be the weather... (though if you want to believe that, do not look at the regional breakdowns)... Pending home sales fell 10.2% YoY - the worst in 3 years (notably worse than the 9% drop expected by the meteorologists in the economics departments of the big banks). This is the 8th month in a row of home sales drops (pre-weather). [2] Don;t worry though - a glimpse at the charts shows things are stabilizing as NARs Larry Yun suggests.. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the recent slowdown in home sales may be behind us, while home prices continue to rise. “Contract signings for the past three months have been little changed, implying the market appears to be stabilizing,” he said. “Moreover, buyer traffic information from our monthly Realtor® survey shows a modest turnaround, and some weather delayed transactions should close in the spring.” Umm, no zerohedge/print/486592
