Jack Miller submits: Home sales fell 2.7% in August; not great news but not unusual. Home buyers have always liked getting settled well before the start of the school year. Home sales August 2009 were up 3.4% over home sales August 2008, so, while the headlines say there was a decline, the rebound continues. The rebound can be seen in the depletion of inventories. New home inventories are at the lowest level in… more than 7 years and total home supply of 8.4 months is the lowest since April 2007.
