My thoughts: What? You say the number of properties under agreement is only 5% less than last year, at this time? How can this be, sir? How can this be, with the national economy teetering on the edge of the GREATEST Depression this country has ever seen??? Robert Shiller says we’re facing drops in the value of housing of 30%! It’s the end of the world, the end of the world, I swear!
Oh, by the way, GDP probably increased this quarter, didn’t decrease. Sorry about that. I know you’re disappointed.
