HOME SALES: Existing home sales, including single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, rose 2.9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.03 million units according to the National Association of Realtors.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the gain is encouraging. "We're not expecting a notable gain in existing home sales until the second half of this year, but the improvement is another sign that the market is stabilizing." he said. "Buyers taking advantage of higher loan limits for both FHA and conventional mortgages will unleash pent-up demand. As inventories are drawn down, prices in many markets should go positive later this year."
The Mortgage Bankers Association, which produces mortgage application trends on a weekly basis reported a surge in applications in the latest week. Mortgage applications for home purchases rose 11 percent. This rise in mortgage applications for home purchases further hints at a possible end to the housing downward cycle.
