NAR: FEBRUARY HOME SALES DROP NEARLY 10%
 
Other parts of the U.S. economy may be improving, but existing home sales continue to struggle. According to the National Association of Realtors, existing-home sales data released March 21, sales were down 9.6% in February for a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.88 million homes. That amount compares to the 5.4 million rate in January and was 2.8% less than the 5.02 million rate in February 2010.
 
 
The unevenness of the economic recovery — highlighted by unnecessarily tight credit and contracts being canceled because appraisals do not support prices – is at fault, NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun noted in an accompanying news release. “This tug and pull is causing a gradual but uneven recovery,” he said. “Existing home sales remain 26.4% above the cyclical low last July.”
 
February 2011 Summary:
 
1st-time buyers bought 34% of homes, 29% over Jan, down 8% from 1-year ago
 
All-cash sales were 33%, up from 32% in Jan and 27% 1-year ago
 
Distressed homes accounted for 39% of sales, up 2% from Jan and 4% from last year
 
Single-family sales, at 4.25MM, were 9.6% less than Jan’s total of 4.7MM and 2.7% less than the 4.37MM in Feb 2010; median existing price was $157K, 4.2% less than a year ago
 
Condominium and co-op sales decreased from 700K in Jan to 630K, a 10% drop; median existing condo price was $150,400, an 11.1% decrease from a year ago
 
Regionally, the Northeast fared best with existing home sales. The annual rate of $770K was down 7.2% from Jan with the median home price at $230,200, a 9.5% decrease from a year ago
 
Western home sales stood at 1.26MM, an 8% decrease from Jan, with a median home price of $190K, a 5.2% decrease from last year
 
Southern sales were unchanged month over month at a 1.84MM annual rate and a median home price of $134K, a 3.9% decrease from Feb 2010
 
·         Midwest home sales fell the sharpest with a 12.2% decrease from Jan and 1.01MM units sold; at $122K, the median home price was 5.4% less than Feb 2010
