"U.S. Dec. pending home sales up 6.3%, realtors say"

You don't get to go from $1M to $200K in a day in RE.

It's a long and torturing process.

The gov is engineering a softer-landing, so sporatic
resistance of the price-normalization process sneak in
from time to time. ( what 'the realtor says' about the price?)

History was never kind to excess in RE. The punishment
phase is traditionally long.

Recent strategy of Obama's cabinet does not give any
evidence of change, yet.
