    SALES RANGE-BOUND AT A SUBDUED LEVEL

    Existing Home Sales Thursday, October 20, 2011

    Record High: 7.25 M (09/05) Percent Change from Record High: -32.3% Existing home sales slumped 3.0% in September to an annual rate of 4.91 million which was roughly in line with market expectations. Existing home sales are now 11.3% above their year ago level but remain 32.3% below their September 2005 peak. All cash sales accounted for 30% of transactions; distressed sales comprised 30% of the total, first-time buyers accounted 32% of sales while investors made up 19% of total transactions. Regionally, sales declined in three areas with an 8.8% drop in the West, 2.6% decline in the South and a 0.9% slip in the Midwest. Sales gained 2.6% in the Northeast. The inventory of homes available for sale fell 2.0% last month to 3.480 million which represents an 8.5 month-supply at the current sales pace. Foreclosures are rising again as the banks unwind the backlogs related to robo-signings; inventories could increase and prices may weaken further. Home prices declined again in September with the median price for an existing home down 3.5% over the past year to $165,400 while average prices dropped 2.5% to $212,700. Existing home sales are weak but remain within the range seen in the last couple of years. The housing market recovery continues to be thwarted by a weak economy and stagnant labor market conditions. Contract failures continue to weigh on overall sales. Economists expect home resales to bump along the bottom the remainder of the year with a price and sales recovery beginning sometime in 2012.
