Home sales tumble as first-time buyers back off
December's drop is largest in more than 40 years
WASHINGTON - Sales of previously occupied homes took their largest drop in
more than 40 years last month yet managed to end 2009 with the first annual
gain in four years.
Still, prices plunged by more than 12 percent last year — the sharpest fall
since the Great Depression. The price drop for 2009 — to a median of $173,
500 — showed the housing market remains too weak to help fuel a sustained
economic recovery. Total sales for 2009 were nearly 5.2 million, up about 5
percent from 2008.
Last month's worse-than-expected showing underscores concerns that the
housing market could weaken further after March 31, when the Federal Reserve
is set to end its program to buy mortgage securities to keep home loan
rates low. Once that program ends, mortgage rates could rise. Adding to the
worries, a newly extended homebuyer tax credit is scheduled to run out at
the end of April. |
