My Analysis: Credit markets must be watched as underwriting guidelines continue to tighten. Units continue to sell, with the assistance, presumably,  of the "First Time Buyer Incentives" and Investor demand. Home Builders having some difficulty competing with the supply of resold homes on the market, creating excellent buying opportunities for Buyers ready to act now!
