When home sales went down by 2.7%, after a short stint of gains, the market indicated once again that the house market continues to be in an insubstantial state. Statistics by the National Association of Realtors showed that home sales were noted to go down in the month of August, after showing signs of recovery from the April to July period. Figures also indicate that as per the month of August, home sales have dropped to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.1 million as compared to 5.24 million in July. This has worked against the predictions of economists of Thomson Reuters who had anticipated home sales to rise to 5.35 million in August. Experts added that the market continues to be fragile as home buyers are still cautious to buy. Many home sellers are also not selling their homes as they anticipate improvement in the market condition.
