Reology sales data looks strong.

Realogy Corporation, which has approximately 740 company-owned offices and approximately 3,500 franchisees across the United States, reported that based on closed and open home sale contract information from its franchisees and company-owned brokerage operations, it expects that the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of existing home sales on a national basis should remain between 5.0 million to 5.2 million in each of April and May 2011.

So almost no improvement or the last three years then?

Your first chart is wrong. First of all, the red line has nothing to do with us. The blue line shows January, 2011 dropping below 4 million, which is contrary to the link you put in the same post which shows no month's saar below 4 million save July, 2010.

Your second chart looks correct.

My statement stands. We are barely above 2008 levels.


See the graph I added.

The second graph you added looks correct.
