Existing home sales fall 2.6 percent in March - Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Home resales fell in March but the supply of properties on the market tightened and prices inched higher, giving mixed signals about the pace of recovery in the still-struggling housing sector.

The National Association of Realtors said on Thursday that existing home sales slipped 2.6 percent to an annual rate of 4.48 million units last month.

Existing home sales fall 2.6% in March - Apr. 19, 2012

Sales of existing homes fell 2.6% compared with a month earlier, to an annualized rate of 4.48 million homes, the National Association of Realtors said.











Gus Faucher, a senior economist at PNC Financial, called the report disappointing.

"We were expecting an increase," he said. "We need a turnaround to help the economy recover."

From your own article...

The NAR said even with March's decline, the pace of sales in the first three months of the year marked the strongest first quarter since 2007.

But not to worry, Chris!

The economy is ready to EXPLODE as soon as the Marxists are removed from power in Washington!

What silliness.

There are no "marxists" in Washington.

Strong leadership in a pro business environment is all that's needed. If Romney doesn't fuckup and compromise to the mushy moderate middle and goes pro business and anti big government this nation is poised to explode bigger than what it did under Coolidge... except for the monstrous debt load Obama spent and Bernanke devalued via the minting of fiat currency.

austerity fails yet again in practice and now the economy of our own country is getting better.

Poor cons still stick to the lies and failed policies.

Let's call it like it is. Everyone she knows is on Federal dependency programs, and when the Marxists are removed from power, this is threatened.

Retail sales fall, smacking stocks, denting recovery hopes - ABC News

Retail sales fell for a second month in April, a disappointing performance that knocked stock prices down and raised doubts about how soon consumers are going to help push the economy out of recession.

The Commerce Department said Wednesday that retail sales fell 0.4% last month, much worse than the flat reading economists expected. The April weakness followed a 1.3% drop in March that was worse than first estimated.

Auto sales are rising in China so maybe that's the figures the democrats are using.

More bad news for Republicans....

Yup.

So a question for TM, not that a single person here thinks she has the ability to answer honestly.

TM, if housing prices going up proves that "Republicans" are liars and wrong about how to run the economy... Does that mean that because housing prices actually fell that Dems (you too!) are liars and don't know shit about the economy?

I'm absolutely 100% positively sure there is a some moronic spin that magically always blames Republicans while leaving you and Dems looking squeaky clean.

And here is a reality check btw, for everyone else as TM can’t be wrong, even when she proves herself clearly wrong.

First off America is about as far as you can get from austerity. We spend more today than we did last year. In fact if you compared the role of Government to that of the first 100 years of America you have something so massive that I doubt any of the FF would even recognize this country as something they had a part in making. We have one of the biggest intrusive Governments on the planet, we kill more people, we give money to dictators, we put dictators in power… we have become near pure evil as a Government can get. Our Government can take your money and give it to investors, bankers or giant corporations as "Bail outs."

Americans bought more electronics, started home improvement projects and updated their wardrobes last month, inspired by warmer weather and a healthier job market.

U.S. retail sales rose 0.8 percent in March, the Commerce Department said Monday.

The increase capped a strong quarter of gains and contributed to a brighter outlook among economists for growth in the January-March quarter. Businesses are responding by restocking their shelves at a steady pace, a sign that they expect the trend to carry over into the spring.

More bad news for Republicans....

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- A surge in gasoline prices earlier this year sparked talk of $5 a gallon by this summer, but prices at the pump have been ticking lower in April, and it appears they'll continue falling as the driving season approaches.

This rosy scenario is prompted by the fact that the price for one of the most common types of gasoline futures traded in New York has dropped 30 cents, going from over $3.40 a gallon at the beginning of April to $3.10 a gallon Wednesday.

Gas prices seen headed lower at the pump - Apr. 26, 2012

Again. I don't want high gas prices, though you and Obama might. At least after the Election. Nice trick though. It will fool allot of the misinformed.

The housing market is in the shitter.

Banks are just dumping more short sales and taking more of a hit than the year prior.

Home sales rising, retail sales rising, auto sales rising, gas prices falling....

What will republicans run on?

Anticontraception???

More buyers signed contracts to buy existing homes in March than the previous month, according to a monthly survey just released by the National Association of Realtors.

The Pending Home Sales Index rose 4.1 percent from February and is now 12.8 percent higher than March of 2011.

“The housing market has clearly turned the corner,” said NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun in a release. “Rising sales are bringing down inventory and creating much more balanced conditions around the country, which means home prices will be rising in more areas as the year progresses.

News Headlines

Way to cherry pick the article, dipshit...

Both the Northeast and Midwest saw declining activity.

The bulk of distressed properties are in the West, with California, Arizona and Nevada still leading the nation in foreclosure activity.

A recent spike in short sales, where the bank allows the home to be sold for less than the value of the mortgage, could be lifting the numbers in those states. Distressed sales accounted for 29 percent of all sales in March, according to the Realtors and a much higher share of sales out West.

Final sales of existing homes (closings) fell unexpectedly in March, leading many to blame the unusually warm winter for pulling demand forward.

were you just hoping no one would bother to actually use the link you provided?
