WASHINGTON, D.C. – Modest near-term movement is expected in existing-home sales, with a recovery in sales seen during the second half of the year, according to the latest forecast by the National Association of Realtors®.

But they have been wrong many a time before. In certain markets the decline in price has been severe to say the least.

Other voices say existing-home sales are flat and new-home sales are likely to decline 18% in 2008

Inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, is forecast at 3.7 percent this year and 2.4 percent in 2009. Inflation-adjusted disposable personal income is projected to grow 1.5 percent in both 2008 and 2009.

The market price and cost of homes is going down, but state and municipal sending keeps increasing; therefore property taxes keep going up.
