Bloomberg - “The number of contracts to buy previously owned U.S. homes was little changed in December after a record plunge, indicating a renewed tax credit will take time to revive sales.
The index of purchase agreements, or pending home sales, rose 1 percent after a 16 percent drop in November that was the largest since records began in 2001, the National Association of Realtors announced in Washington. Compared with a year earlier, pending sales rose 11 percent.”
