Interesting; good charts. Looks like around 4 months supply is a bull market and above 8 definitely a bear market for existing home sales (we are heading above 8 again now); 6-7 months of supply seems "normal" for new homes.

ahem...........in our calculation for supply of homes we are using old data, old employed numbers, old migration numbers........ people wanted to own 2 even 3 years ago, now doubt is infecting everything, doubts about employment, doubts about taxes, the buyer group is shrinking while the home supply is growing. Todays's 8 months supply is not like 2 years ago 8 months supply. We are headed into the winter, always the worst mortgage writing months for me out of the year. So 8 months supply today (same numbers - could be a 16 month supply by next year) these 'real' not 'estimated' unemployment numbers have to turn around and turn around big for housing to fix itself........
