NAR - "Home Prices Correcting, Buyers Returning to the Market" (10-11-06)

"Home sales appear to be bottoming out with lower home prices attracting buyers in many areas of the country, according to the National Association of Realtors."

"David Lereah, NAR’s chief economist, said the housing market is showing signs of life and that sales may be leveling out. 'Many potential home buyers who have been taking a wait-and-see attitude or taking their time and being methodical in the search process are being enticed by lower home prices,' he said. 'Given a positive economic backdrop of lower interest rates and job creation, we expect sales activity to pick up early next year.'"
