And speaking of home sales numbers

The National Association of Realtors has changed its 2007 sales forecast yet again, the AP reports:

The eighth straight downwardly revised forecast from the National Association of Realtors calls for U.S. existing home sales to be 10.8 percent below last year as housing market woes persist. Sales of new homes, meanwhile, are expected to finish 2007 at the lowest level in a decade.
