Although pending home sales ordtak

Although pending home sales are trending down from a record in August, the index remains well above a mark that is considered to be historically strong.

Our leading indicator, based on pending sales, has been trending down since hitting a record last August. In the wake of interest rates peaking in November, I expect we are in a bit of a trough that may be followed by a modest rise and then a general plateau in the level of sales activity. Existing-home sales should stay below the record levels experienced over the last two years, but they'll maintain a historically high pace.

Meanwhile, home construction remains strong and home sales continue to break records easily. In fact, total home sales should end the year two percent higher than 2003's all time record level.

The current pace of home sales activity remains historically strong – only eight months have had a higher sales pace. A modest downtrend, to a sales volume that is expected to be the second-best year ever in 2006, will be good for the long-term health of the housing sector.

Mortgage interest rates were at the highest level since the third quarter of 2003. At the same time, we've seen strong double-digit appreciation in home prices, so a modest slowing from record sales was to be expected. The good news is that home sales are being sustained at historically high levels.

Since April we've experienced three out of the four strongest months on record for existing-home sales, and August was the sixth highest. We're at a more sustainable level now, but long-term there should be some additional easing toward the end of the year. In fact, the August sales pace is close to what we project for total sales this year.

The (Pending Home Sales) index has been fluctuating in a fairly narrow range over the last six months -- a very high range -- so the overall market is moving forward with a lot of momentum.

Although it is always somewhat positive to see the Sales Confidence Index trending upward, it is of some concern that salespeople do not feel that there has been any improvement in the last quarter in terms of the quantity or the quality of the leads. When this is coupled with the fact that there is less confidence among the sales force that they will improve their sales in the next 90 days, it brings into question how confident they are in sustaining momentum throughout the year.

Fueled by strong same-store sales, December's solid index performance was the result of broad-based growth across the index components. Three out of five restaurant operators reported a same-store sales gain in December -- the strongest level in 12 months. In addition, the Expectations Index posted its fourth consecutive monthly increase, which points toward growth in sales, staffing levels and capital expenditures during the next several months.
