California Assoc. of Realtors data point on home sales

Pending home sales increased in February..... another bullet point to support my previous comments on April 8th about a possible market rebound.

Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in February, rose 2.1 percent to 82.1 from a reading of 80.4 in January, but is 1.4 percent below February 2008 when it was 83.3.

"Pending home sales have a way to go for there to be a meaningful increase, but recent increases in shopping activity are hopeful indicators that we’ll see additional sales gains,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “More buyers are getting into the market to take advantage of stimulus incentives and much-improved housing affordability conditions, but it will take a few months before we could see this turn up in measurable sales contract activity.”

If you are actively in the market, what are you experiencing?
