WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. housing market showed signs of major disruption in July, with a 12.2% monthly decline in contract signings on existing homes -- the largest drop since the pending homes sales index started in 2001, the National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday.
The index hit its lowest level since September 2001, and pending sales were 16.1% below their year-earlier level. The July data reflect trends before August's mortgage meltdown.
"This is disastrous," said Ian Shepherdson, chief U.S. economist with High Frequency Economics Ltd., in a statement. July's plunge indicates that June's rebound was a "fluke," he said. The index had gained 5% in June.
"Note that this collapse in pending home sales predates the turmoil in the markets and the subsequent jump in jumbo mortgage rates, even for prime borrowers," Shepherdson said
