Pending home sales fell in November compared with a month earlier, as credit tightened and economic conditions deteriorated, according to a recent NAR report.
The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in September, declined 4.6 percent to 89.2 from an upwardly revised reading of 93.5 in August, but is 1.6 percent higher than September 2007, when it stood at 87.8.

I believe a lot of people who purchased with subprime loans and were not really qualified have to accept the inevitable consequences and perhaps build up their savings and credit while renting until the next purchase opportunity.

It’s pretty bad in South Florida, too. I’ve lost about 18% on my home within the last 18 months. Ouch!
