Default Existing Home Sales UP

I seem to remember someone syaing that this would happen (and was ridiculed by the left), although I think that he was a month off on his prediction...

Once again, let the free market rule, and it will come around.

The left wing media is feeding us all kinds of *****, they don't want anything to go "right" until one of those two babbling grinning democrats are nominated and elected.
It's all over the talk radio today that the housing thing is coming back.

Take That To The Bank

Oh boy, the housing market rose this month....................as prices continue to tumble.
From people I've talked to in the industry (builders) the market will not be back for two years.

This thread needs to be saved for future use, because the economic boom is starting and ftw called it.

I really don't see why prices tumbling is such a bad thing? Anyone in here with some idea of real estate, or some basic financial sense, would understand that a drop was very necessary. A market correction like this makes property far more affordable for a number of prospective buyers who previously had no chance to own. Anyone with some coin in the bank, who doesn't own, should be shopping right now. I think there's room before it goes bottom, but you could do a lot worse than buy right now. The combination of incredibly low rates, falling prices, and a saturated market make for a buyers dream. I wouldn't be surprised if sales increase consistently, but I think 2009 will be where it reverses itself.
