  • A Bottom May Be Forming in Home Sales [View article]
    Tim,

    Never forget that seasonal adjustments are estimates.

    One other point that I should have mentioned. The author cites new home sales to make his point about a possible bottom. This statistic may be one of the worst published by the government. New home sales are really a measure of contracts signed to purchase a new home not the closing of an escrow on a new home. The number is subject to wild swings as buyers can and do cancel the contracts prior to completion of the home.
