Contracts to purchase previously owned homes unexpectedly fell in April to a four-month low, undermining some of the recent optimism that the housing sector was touching bottom.

Everyone drink.

There’s that pesky “unexpectedly” again. Those statistics sure are sneaky.

"All of the major housing market indicators are expected to trend gradually up," said Lawrence Yun, chief NAR economist.

Based on what? The unemployed and underemployed are going to use what to pay mortgages?

Sorry, Lawrence, I can do better pulling projections out of my a$$... you're fired!

I didn’t think that had room to “slide” Otherwise, if their were any positive indicators it would be unexpected. A miracle really.

I doubt that even heavy dope-smokers have had “recent optimism.” That is purely a figment of the msm’s fevered imagination.

How can this guy be so wrong for so long and still keep his job. Here's a realistic take on the housing market. Note he doesn't even go into the shadow inventory held by the banks. Bagdad Bob has more credibility than Lawrence Yun.

Those who give up on finding a job might not be “unemployed” according to government statisticians, but they sure aren’t buying houses.

Could be that buyers are rejecting more offers and beginning to hold out for higher price.
