Today's Housing Bubble Post - Prices Down
-- by Dave Johnson
Yesterday's bad news was about new homes. Today's bad news is about existing homes. Home prices fall for 9th straight month,
Sales of existing homes fell by a larger-than-expected amount in April while the median price of a home sold during the month fell for a ninth straight month as the troubles in the subprime mortgage market acted as a further drag on housing.And the news is only going to get worse:
ADVERTISEMENTThe National Association of Realtors reported Friday that sales of existing homes fell by 2.6 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.99 million units. That was the slowest sales pace since June 2003.
... Sales were weak in all parts of the country. The Northeast experienced the biggest decline, a fall of 8.8 percent in April from the March sales pace.
The drop in sales was accompanied by a big jump in the number of unsold homes left on the market.
