Purchases of existing homes dropped 1.2 percent to an annual rate of 4.97 million, the fewest since the National Association of Realtors began keeping the records in 1999. Orders for items made to last several years fell 0.4 percent, the Commerce Department said today in Washington.

Inventory is still sky high.
And months of inventory available is still increasing.
And this isn't including any of the projected foreclosures for next year.
Simply put, this is called a "super-glut".
