April existing-home sales up 7.6% to 5.77 million By Rex Nutting WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Resales of homes in the United States rose 7.6% in April to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.77 million as buyers rushed to complete sales before a tax credit expires, according to data released Monday by the National Association of Realtors. Sales were stronger than the 5.63 million pace expected by economists. Inventories surged 11.5% to 4.04 million in April, an "unwelcome" development, said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the NAR. The inventory level represented an 8.4-month supply at the April sales pace. Yun said the elevated inventories suggest that prices won't rise much over the next year or two. The median price is up 4% in the past year at $173,100.

"Have you any clues? look as the stupidity of the Huffington Post. They want people to march out in the streets." Really? I didn't bother to read it. Why don't they tell people to march to the swamps and help? Why not have mass prayer? That has a better chance of stopping leaks and collecting tar than marching in the streets. And, how will people get to those street marches? By burning oil. My name is Mike, and I am an oilcoholic. Unlike HuffPo, I recognize it, and try to do something about it.
