      TV Home Shows Boom During Bust

      (Newser) - Home shows are becoming the heavyweights of reality television, even as the housing market continues to plummet, the New York Times reports.

      Dec. Home Sales Kept Dropping

      (Newser) - Existing home sales began to fall again in December after briefly bumping upwards in October and November.

      Pending Home Sales Take Giant Plunge

      (Newser) - Pending home sales fell 2.6% in November from a revised 3.7% October gain, Bloomberg reports, far outstripping the 0.7% fall analysts predicted after an originally reported 0.6% October gain. The figures support Henry Paulson’s gloomy outlook on the housing market. “There is no evidence it is bottoming,” the treasury secretary said today, reiterating his call for government help for all mortgage holders, not just subprime borrowers.

      Home Resales See Small Surprise Rise

      (Newser) - Existing-home sales rose unexpectedly in November, although not enough to suggest that the economy is over the housing slump, Bloomberg reports. Resales rose 0.4% to an annual rate of 5 million, up from October’s record-low pace, but the year-over-year figure represents a 20% drop. The median price dropped 3.3% relative to November 2006, to $210,200. More »

      Existing-Home Sales Plummet Past Predictions

      (Newser) - The housing market absorbed more bad news today. Existing-home sales dropped 8% in September, hitting their lowest level since at least 1999, as tighter credit standards kept buyers away. The 5.04 million annual rate was far below projections, bolstering predictions of another rate cut by the Fed next week. “The credit freeze in August definitely impacted sales in September,” one economist told the Wall Street Journal .
