This past month, twice as many pre-owned homes sold than new homes. I imagine this is because of the bond and in some cases location.

Wow - I've been following sales data in TV since we bought in 2006 - usually from afar - just casually, no spread sheets or anything, but I believe this is the first time I know about when resales topped new home sales - and usually it was by a margin of about 4-1 or 3-1.

Maybe until Brownwood is up and going it will be like this? I just found this kind of surprising.
