With the holiday season in full swing, existing home sales rose for the second
straight month to the highest they have been since 2007. This was unexpected,
since prices are also at record highs and inventory is still consistently declining. As
both incomes and employment figures continue to improve, it would be a welcome
surprise to see sales trend higher through to the end of the year.
