Pending Home Sales Rise for Record Eight Straight Months

"Washington, November 02, 2009

Pending home sales rose again, marking eight consecutive monthly gains – the longest streak since measurement began in 2001, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
The Pending Home Sales Index,* a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in September, rose 6.1 percent to 110.1 from a reading of 103.8 in August, and is 21.2 percent higher than September 2008 when it stood at 90.9. The gain from a year ago is the largest annual increase on record, and the index is at the highest level since December 2006 when it was 112.8.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said the momentum is understandable. “What we’re witnessing is a rush of first-time buyers trying to beat the expiration of the tax credit at the end of this month,” he said. “Home values will stabilize sooner rather than over-correcting. That, in turn, will mean wealth stabilization for the vast number of middle-class families and lay the foundation for a durable economic recovery.”

Folks don't forget the lies that Lawrence Yun told you that got you into this mess. Don't forget that the NAR President is quoted as Saying it is a Good Time To Buy, when the Market was obviously failing, it was in the news - the blogs and obvious on main street America but the REALTORS at the highest levels told you to Buy and Well you Did and now they are telling you FALSE information again to gain your confidence... they LIED.. don't Forget it.

Also NAR Statistics are NOT accurate. The MLS's I was part of had no way to provide any kind of quality control over the integrity or accuracy of the data in the MLS and this Data is what Lenders, Mortgage Brokers, Realtors, Appraisors used to Create a False Market that was destined to Collapse. But who cares the CEO's got Rich.. took the money and tucked it away, then when bankrupt and put their hand out begging your government for your tax dollars.
R
Now they are foreclosing on your life, when they should be reducing the amount of your loan, they got relief - YOU did not. They made money off your loan, they got a bailout - your stuck with your loan that they get to keep making money from. ENOUGH.
r
The Realtors, the National Association of Realtors has NO Credibility what so ever. THE National Association of Realtors is banking on your ignorance, vulnerability and the fact that you will believe them as the "Authority" - the "Higher Standard" when in TRUTH they are telling you Flat Out Lies, Making Stuff Up and Creating Illustions... NAR - the Great Real Estate Hoax.
R
NAR "Research" has no base in any kind of Reality. They told you false statistics for years, you listened, you were so confident that you PAID way to much for YOUR real estate, and now you owe hundreds of thousands more then your real estate is worth. Oh Well NAR is out to help you with Tax Credits and GOOD News that the Pending Home Sales are Up.. so Breath easy.. Time to Buy, Oh and Don't Forget to Use a Realtor.. that is the point of their Statistics, their Research, their Clout.. Right? R

NAR can tell you ANYTHING, how do you know if it it True or not? You don't? You simply believe them as the AUTHORITY on Real Estate, the "voice of real estate" because of their CLOUT, their Propaganda - Billboards - Ads and because they State their Statistics and Research so firmly.. yet in TRUTH the Political Agenda, Special Interest Groups, Lobbying and Suckering you into thinking you Need a Realtor... this is all to get you to Keep using Realtors so that the National Association of Realtors Billion Dollar Money Machine Keeps on Working.

Who Cares if Lawrence Yun lies or just gets the data wrong, who cares if NAR flat out lies or mis-reads data, they can always blame bad data or whatever.. no one holds them accountable even with news archives of them telling you to BUY just before the Collapse that they SURELY knew was coming and if Lawrence Yun did not know, in some fantasy land of delusion well then what Kind of a Chief Economist is He. Lawrence Yun, YOUR FIRED !!!

Get Realtors, NAR, the National
Association of Realtors out of Real Estate for Good.

R
STOP Using NAR members in your Real Estate Transaction. HOLD the National Association of Realtors accountable for the Industry Trends, Pending Home Sale Data, SOLD Data, and False Consumer Confidence they spew year after year. the National Association of Realtors is Lying to You, don't fall for it again.r

A bank bailout without REAL consumer relief is Bad Business, Fraud, a Blatant attack on the Real Estate Consumer,

Banks taking Short Sales, whereby they sell for less then the Loan to get the Real Estate off the BOOKS, but they won't offer this Price to the Owner because it is Illegal.. .. this is Unethical, a Stranger, an investor can get your home for 30 to 60 percent of your loan but you can't - why is this. If it is law and well mortgage fraud if you do it then why is it not mortgage fraud that the Lenders blatantly did this to you in the first place.
R
They allowed false appraisals, they allowed values to come in at 10% higher and well keep adding 10% and OMG you got 100 percent then 200 percent .. gee I don't know think it would lead to a Collapse? Think that the Real Estate Consumer should be the one to pay for their Stupidity, Fraud, Lies, and Corrupt Greedy Behavior. No Way. Don't Believe any of the Greedy Fools that got the Real Estate Industry into this mess and NAR is at the TOP of the HEAP....

PS. It is NOT a Good Time to BUY unless your getting 50% off of what the property was listed for a Year ago. (This Excludes Lakefront Real Estate) Yes Sad for Sellers, but Lenders, NAR, Banks, and the DEPT of Justice should be Lobbying and enacting laws to get Sellers out of those Liars Loans, those Loans they got based on the lies and false consumer confidence of NAR and those Loans that are NOW way more in "Pay Off" then you could possible Sell your Real Estate For.

NAR caused the collapse, look at the above blog
they proposed tax credits and incentives before
all to buy - buy and NOTHING to protect the Consumer
once they do buy to ensure they get a livable, healthy sound home..
