Der US-amerikanische Index zu den anstehenden Hausverkäufen ist im August um 6,5 % auf 85,5 zurückgegangen und erreicht damit ein Rekordtief . Im Vormonat hatte der Index noch bei 91,4 gestanden und wurde damit von zuletzt veröffentlichten 89,9 nach oben revidiert.

Flattened by the mortgage crunch, a forward-looking gauge of home sales fell further in August to its lowest level in more than six years, a real estate trade group said Tuesday.
The pending home sales index fell 6.5% in August after dropping a revised 10.7% in July, the National Association of Realtors reported Tuesday. The index is at its lowest level since its inception in 2001.

"This is still absolutely awful, confirming that the existing-homes market is now in freefall," wrote Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist for High Frequency Economics. "This is consistent with existing-home sales falling to just 5 million or so," down 10% from the latest level and 30% from the peak.

Sellers still do not realize they must cut prices, said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisers.

"Fewer contracts were being written because of mortgage availability issues," said Lawrence Yun, senior economist for the Realtors group. "The volume of activity we're seeing today is below sustainable market fundamentals because some creditworthy people are trying to buy homes but can't because of the credit crunch," Yun noted.

"We don't want to suggest that housing activity has found a bottom, but we do think it is likely that pending home sales will level out at least temporarily in September," wrote Lou Crandall, chief economist for Wrightson ICAP. "But the outlook for the fourth quarter remains murky."
