Pending Home Sales Exlode in April, Heavily Skewed Towards the South and West Coast

These are the best pending home sales numbers in a decade, up 5.1% for the month. The market is wholly unimpressed, however, since people are numb to the fact that economics are transient occurrences. QE is forever.

No one has any money to buy homes in the Midwest, a region in the country best described as ‘fly over country.’ Sales declined there for the month, comically.

The vast majority of new sales are occurring in both the west coast and southern, confederate, regions of America.

Regionally, pending home sales in the Northeast climbed 1.2 percent for the month and are 10.1 percent above a year ago. In the Midwest, the index declined 0.6 percent for the month and is 2.0 percent above April 2015. Pending home sales in the South jumped 6.8 percent monthly and are 5.1 percent higher than last April. The index in the West rose 11.4 percent monthly and is now 2.8 percent above a year ago.

    The South is warm and the West coast is beautiful. Who wouldn’t want to live in one of these places?

      The Bern Bots and the Trump Militia are geographically aligning for armed strife.

        If you break into the house of a confederate patriot prepare to have thine head separated at thy shoulders.

        Wow, you interpreted “the South is warm” to “must defend against left-wing burglars with my broadsword?”

        I think you need to lay off the drugs. Or take some (whatever your psychiatrist suggests).

        Sorry, just a case of mistaken identy. Didn’t realize that you were a liberal “confederate patriot” – must be lonely.

    Don’t worry, anyone, about being surrounded by Right Wingers if you move to the South. The South is actually similar to the North politically–Blue cities, Red rural areas. It’s just that the South has more rural areas than the North does, so most Southern states end up Red overall.

    If you are moderate or liberal, and moving to the South just move to a good sized city or a suburb– not to a rural area.
