Yes, you are right. In my post I was referring to existing home sales. I'd appreciate if you explain your thoughts about this "heavy supply of buyers". I bought my home in 1996 (Irvine, CA) and there were no buyers. Now, after more than 5 years of low inflation (IMO it's important), it's price is up 70% AND there is "heavy supply of buyers". Yes, interest rates are lower now. Also rent is up a lot. These two make for easier house purchasing decisions because you compare cost of renting to cost of owning. But I still believe that current prices can't be sustained.
I wish I could short sell my neighbor's house. -VBG-
