The US housing market remains under pressure,
with talk of a double dip mounting.

The December S&P/Case-Shiller home price index
for 20-cities showed that prices fell 2.4% y/y.
While US existing home sales rose 2.4% in January,
up 4.92% from a year ago, prices are down 2.7%
from January 2010.

The HousingPulse Distressed Property Index suggests
that nearly half of all home sales in January were
bank owned or short-sales.

New home sales plummeted 12.6% in January, well below
market expectations, due to substantial inventory
overhang and upward pressure on mortgage rates.

This poses a real problem for the Fed, as tighter monetary
policy for the PEOPLE is likely to put PEOPLES housing under
further pressure from the banksters to rob the PEOPLE
,
undoing the wealth effect they've created
by underpinning the stock market.
