Great post, as usual. I forwarded it to several journalists who have complained to me about the massive spin of NAR data.
It's also amusing timing from NAR. I don't know how he can in good conscience say that a recession is “not in the cards – no matter how you look at it”. The National Association for Business Economists released a study today. From the Associated Press:
“A growing number of economists believe the country is on the brink of a recession or in one already, dragged down by all the problems in housing, credit and financial markets. Now 56 percent of the economists think the economy has started or will enter a recession this year. That's up from 45 percent in a survey in February.”

It says Data as of Jan 2007 below? If that the case, aren't we in month 17 not 5? One question about the chart – does it start as of Jan. 2007 or Jan 2008? It says Data as of Jan 2007 below?
