Remember after the tech crash a stock could go up $0.50 in a day and it was "biggest gainer of the day"? Well if you sell 8,000 units/ month, then 8 units per month, then 9 units/ month, you have realized a 12.5% increase in housing sales; biggest month over month gain in 58,000,000 years!!! The rate of decline in values has subsided. Whether that is temporary or not will be determined over time.
